• Finely chop garlic. Cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks. • In a large pot or saucepan, heat a good drizzle of olive oil over high heat. When oil is hot, cook chicken, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through (when no longer pink inside), 5-6 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Return saucepan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When oil is hot, add soffritto mix and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 2-3 minutes. • Add a drizzle more olive oil, garlic, Italian herbs (see ingredients) and a pinch of chilli flakes (if using). Cook, stirring until fragrant, 2 minutes. TIP: Chicken is cooked through whe it's no longer pink inside.
• Pour red kidney beans (including the liquid!) into the pan with the veggies. • Add diced tomatoes with garlic & onion and the water. Add vegetable stock powder and the brown sugar and stir to combine. • Simmer until slightly reduced, 15 minutes. TIP: The bean liquid helps season and thicken the soup!
• Meanwhile, preheat the grill to high. Slice bake-at-home ciabatta in half lengthways and place, cut-side up, on a lined oven tray. Spread with basil pesto and sprinkle with Cheddar cheese. • When the soup has 5 minutes cook time remaining, place ciabatta under the grill, until the cheese is melted and bubbling, 3-5 minutes. • Just before serving the soup, add baby spinach leaves, cooked chicken and stir until just wilted.
• Divide the Tuscan veggie bean and chicken soup between bowls. • Top with fetta cubes. • Serve with the cheesy pesto toast. Enjoy!
