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.

Cooking Steps
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.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
While mushrooms cook, peel and mince or grate garlic.
Use pot used for chicken here.
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.
Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.
Once kale is wilted and flavors meld, add chicken to soup.
Divide soup between bowls and top with Italian cheese blend. Sprinkle with as many chili flakes as you like. Serve.

Reviews from our home cooks
All your soups are awesome and this was no different. I did add a small can of tomato sauce and a few cracks of Italian seasonings just for laughs, but it would have been just as good without. Paired with a nice baguette and this was such a comforting meal on a cold day.
This was amazing. The beans were not hard. The flavors were amazing. This actually made (in my opinion) more than 2 servings - I actually got 3 meals out of this one. It was great.
My new favorite, I added some extra greens, kale from my garden and additional mushrooms. It was really delicious.
This was a wow. Big flavor, great texture, and easy ingredients. Very fulfilling soup.
I left out the pearl pasta. It doesn't add any food value, it's just processed flour. Wish I had waited until dishing out the soup to add the spinach. It cooked and got a bit slimy. I wish that had been in the instructions.
Little heavy on the beans for me, but very tasty! Next time I'll just use half the beans.
I put the chili flakes in with the garlic and it gave the soup a nice heat.
This was soooo good. Love the flavors and cheesiness. I like that it had spinach to add something healthy.
Love soups for fall and winter, and this one came out great! We got a large bag of spinach and it turned out great.
Easy and hit the spot on a day that was a "soup" worthy day!
