Helpful Tips to make Crock Pot Tuscan Chicken Bean Soup
- I used boneless skinless chicken breast but you could also use skinless boneless chicken thighs to make this recipe.
- If you can't find the Swanson's Tuscan Chicken broth you could use plain chicken broth or even vegetable broth.
- I love using fresh Oregano when I make my crock pot soup recipes. If you have it use it instead of the dried Oregano.
- Can use any combination of white beans you may have on hand.

I made the crockpot Tuscan Chicken Bean Soup yesterday for lunch. So good that we also had it for dinner, and my husband took the remainder for lunch today. Next time I make it I will double the kale. ( I used a spinach kale mixture.) I have already copied the recipe for my files. Loved it!
