Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the prosciutto and fry until crispy.
- Add the carrots and onion to the pot and saute, stirring occasionally, until they begin to brown, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
- Add the chicken stock, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper and stir. Put the chicken thighs into the pot and bring the pot to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 30 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the pot. When it is cool enough to handle, remove the bones and shred the meat using two forks.
- Return the chicken to the pot, add the white beans and parmesan cheese, and let the beans warm for 5 minutes. Stir in the spinach and lemon juice and then season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Serve the Tuscan chicken soup topped with some shaved parmesan cheese and homemade croutons.
Slow Cooker Instructions
- Add the sauteed vegetables, chicken stock, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and chicken thighs to your slow cooker and cook it on low for 8 hours or high for 3-4 hours. Shred the meat and add the remaining ingredients per the recipe directions above.
