Southwestern Chicken and White Bean Soup


I made this for dinner last night and it was not only easy but delicious too.  The flavor combination was great and it hardly took any time to throw together.  This is perfect for an easy weeknight meal.   An added bonus is that 1 cup is only 3 Points Plus on Weight Watchers.
Southwestern Chicken and White Bean Soup
2 c. shredded chicken
2 cans low-sodium, less fat chicken broth
1 Tbsp. taco seasoning
1 lg. can white beans, drained
½ c. salsa verde
Cilantro, chopped for garnish (optional)

Boil and shred chicken.  Drain beans and put in a bowl.  Mash the beans with a fork leaving only a few whole.  Combine all ingredients in a pot (except for cilantro).  Allow soup to come to a boil and then reduce heat and simmer for an additional 10 minutes.  Garnish with chopped cilantro, of desired.
