Chicken, Cheesy Spinach & Mushroom Soup
with Pearl Pasta, Cannellini Beans & Chili Flakes
- Milk
- Wheat
Is there anything cozier than a hearty bowl of soup? We think not, which is why our chefs created this soul-warming Italian-inspired meal. Tender white beans simmer with earthy mushrooms, spinach, and lots of garlic, plus tender, springy fun-to-eat pearl pasta in a rich veggie broth. Ladle the soup into bowls and sprinkle generously with our Italian cheese blend for a meltingly delicious topper, then finish with as many spicy red pepper flakes as you’d like.

Wash and dry produce.
Trim and quarter mushrooms (skip if your mushrooms are pre-sliced!).
Open package of chicken* and drain off any excess liquid. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add chicken in a single layer; cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. Turn off heat; transfer to a plate. Wipe out pot.

Stir 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) and garlic into pot with mushrooms; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 30 seconds.
Stir in stock concentrates, couscous, beans and their liquid, and 2 cups water (4 cups for 4). Bring to a boil, then reduce to a low simmer. Stir in spinach. Cook, stirring occasionally, until spinach is wilted and flavors meld, 6-8 minutes.
