Chicken Minestrone Soup. Minestrone soup is an Italian classic! This version is made with cannellini beans, chicken stock, cabbage, potato, zucchini, carrots, plum tomatoes, and Parmesan cheese. Today's Chicken Minestrone Soup is a comforting variation of the traditional vegetarian Italian Minestrone Soup.
Instead of using regular chicken broth, I first roasted the Christmas day turkey bones, then boiled them in water for an hour.
This soup will thicken in the refrigerator as the residual heat of the broth continues to cook the vegetables and they release their starches, so stir in another splash of broth.
This soup is made for January.

Minestrone soup reminds me of Summer — counter-intuitive, I know, but it's chock-full of Summer vegetables. And this healthy low carb chicken minestrone soup is full of Summer's bounty, too. I started making a traditional minestrone soup and remembered that I had some shredded chicken in the freezer. What a great addition to the soup. I will not make it again without it.
