Instructions:
In a Dutch oven or large pot add in 1tbs of oil on medium high heat. Then add in the ground chicken and brown for 5-7 min.
Meanwhile chop up your onion, carrots, and celery. Once the meat is cooked add in all three and sauté until they begin to get soft. About 5 min.
You’ll then add in 1tbs Italian seasoning, 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (less if you don’t like spice), 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, 1tbs minced garlic and 1tbs tomato paste and mix everything together. Let it sauté for a couple of min.
Finally add in all the beans, 4 cups chicken stock, and two bay leaves. Cover and simmer for about 15-20 min.
Once done remove from the heat and add in 1/2 cup half and half or cream, and a handful of chopped kale & mix. Serve with a little parmesan cheese on top & enjoy!
