Cooked this for a family dinner - quick and easy and it does taste great. I added some baby kale leaves. Everyone loved it.

I love savory and this was! I accidentally opened a can of white beans for a recipe I was making that called for black. What to do? So I found this and it looked fast and easy. I used dried rosemary and store bought stock (I'll omit the salt next time!) Also, I used arrowroot instead of the cornstarch. Incredibly low fat, but you'd never know it... delicious.

This is an absolutely marvelous bean and chicken soup/stew. Used my most flavorful homemade stock and I wouldn't change a thing. It's incredibly easy to make. Doesn't seem possible it could have so much flavor in such a short time, but it does. Seems like a natural pairing with some crunchy-crusted bread.
