Bean Soup With Chicken

 
   
   
   
Ingredients -  
   

1 cup sliced Carrots
1/2 cup sliced Green Onions and tops
1/2 cup chopped Red Bell Pepper
1/2 cup sliced Celery
1 tablespoon Butter or Margarine
12 ounces Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
1 teaspoon Dried Thyme Leaves
2 tablespoons Flour
3 cups Reduced-Sodium Fat-Free Chicken Broth
1 can (15 ounces) Dark Kidney Beans or 1 1/2 cups cooked dry-packaged Black beans, rinsed, drained
1 cup Broccoli florets
1 cup chopped Zucchini
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/8 teaspoon White Pepper
1 to 2 teaspoons Lemon Juice
1/2 cup Whipping Cream, whipped

 
   
Preparation:  
   

Sauté carrots, green onions, bell pepper, and celery in butter until almost tender in Dutch oven or large saucepan, about 5 minutes. Add chicken and thyme; cook over medium heat until chicken is lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour and cook 1 minute longer.
Stir in chicken broth, beans, broccoli, and zucchini; heat to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until vegetables are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in salt and pepper; season to taste with lemon juice. Stir in whipped cream just before serving.
