How to Make Navy Bean Soup With Chicken
- Rinse 1 cup of dried navy beans and pick out any debris. Place them in a large pot and add 8 cups of water.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and let soak for at least 1 hour (or up to 8 hours for extra-tender beans).
- Drain and rinse the soaked beans thoroughly.
- If using frozen chicken (about 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts), place it in a separate large pot with 10 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through and easily shredded. Shred the chicken using two forks.
- Chop 2 green onions; separate the white and green parts. Finely slice the white parts (about 1/2 cup). Set aside the green tops (about 1/4 cup), finely chopped, for later.
- Add the drained beans, shredded chicken, 1 teaspoon black pepper, and the sliced white parts of the green onions to the pot. Add 4 cups of chicken broth for extra flavour.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1-2 hours, or until the beans are tender to your liking. Stir occasionally.
- Stir in the reserved chopped green onion tops and cook for an additional 15 minutes.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
