Hurry up White Bean Chicken Soup

Submitted by yooper

"This is another one of my original recipes that I created just today for lunch! I was in a hurry, and wanted to use up a leftover cooked chicken breast. What to do? I diced it up, added a can of white beans, some spices and Swiss cheese, and five minutes later, lunch was served! This was so good, the melted Swiss cheese provided a lush, creamy tanginess to the dish. The possibilities are endless-you can sub left over ham or corned beef, or do a Mexican spin and add cumin and chili powder. onion and green chilies with shredded Mexican cheese."
