Fiato Soup

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3/4 cup diced onion
• 5 cloves minced garlic
• fresh sliced mushrooms (optional)
• 1 block frozen strained spinach or 4-5 cups fresh spinach (don't chop)
• 2 large uncooked chicken breasts
• 1 48 oz. white beans drained-rinsing not required (great Northern)
• 1 49.5 (large) can chicken stock/broth (salted)
• 1 chopped fresh tomato
• 1 14.5 can diced tomatoes (stewed is fine)
• 1/2 cup of your favorite sauce or tomato juice
• 1 tablespoon dried basil or rip up some fresh and toss in
• 1 tablespoon dried parsley or cut up some fresh and toss in
• 2 bay leaves (optional)
• ***SECRET INGREDIENT DON'T SKIP: 3-6 tablespoons of red garlic flavored vinegar or balsamic vinegar-add 3 at first and taste. If you need more...add it in.
• S&P to taste

Instructions

In a large pot saute olive oil, onion, and garlic for 5 minutes. Add remaining ingredients in order. Stir well, and let simmer until chicken is done. Take chicken out and set aside until it cools. Let soup cook an additional 20 minutes to release all flavors. When ready to eat, add chicken back into soup by pulling it apart into shreds with your hands. You can serve this over pasta, or we had crusty Italian bread on the side. Parmesan or pecorino Romano cheese make a yummy garnish. I hope you enjoy! The vinegar takes it over the top. Thanks, Emeril.
