This recipe, published in Fitness magazine, is from Rocco Dispirito, a chef and cookbook author and a Fitness magazine advisory board member. He has a cooking show, Rocco Gets Real, which will air on A&E in October 2008. He states that to make soups and stews low-fat, skip the sauteing step. Instead, bring all the ingredients to a simmer together - and serve.

CHICKEN, WHITE BEAN, SPINACH & PARMESAN SOUP
I had something very similar at a neighbors house and it was so delicious. After getting the recipe I played with it just a little, made some additions and have an even better version of the original. I hope you like it, too! For a quick, throw-it-together soup that is ready in practically no time, this is it.

Steps:
- 1. Cut raw chicken into cubes and season with salt and pepper. Either brown in a little olive oil, in a Dutch oven, or set aside raw.
- 2. To Dutch oven add broth, granulated onion & garlic, corn and crushed red pepper; bring to a boil. *If you browned the chicken stir well to get the browned bits and drippings incorporated into the broth. Add chicken then reduce heat to low and simmer for about 5 minutes.
- 3. Add diced tomatoes, V-8, beans to broth, stir and bring back to a simmer for 15 minutes.
- 4. Stir in baby spinach and basil. Continue cooking soup until spinach is wilted and chicken is cooked through, about 2 minutes longer. Taste and add salt & pepper as needed.
- 5. Ladle into bowls and top with Parm. Enjoy!
- 6. *TIP: For a richer flavor pan sear the chicken breasts before or after cutting into cubes. Brown on both sides in a 1 T butter and 1 T olive oil. When browned remove from pot and set aside. *Options: Use Turkey or Sweet Italian sausage instead of Chicken
Tips:
- Mise en Place: Chop all your vegetables and measure out your ingredients before you start cooking. This will make the cooking process much smoother and faster.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh vegetables and herbs will give your soup the best flavor. If possible, buy organic ingredients to avoid pesticides and herbicides.
- Don't Overcook the Vegetables: The vegetables should be cooked until they are tender but still have a bit of a bite to them. Overcooked vegetables will become mushy and lose their flavor.
- Season to Taste: Add salt and pepper to taste throughout the cooking process. This will help to develop the flavors of the soup.
- Serve with a Side of Parmesan Cheese and Crusty Bread: Parmesan cheese and crusty bread are the perfect accompaniments to this soup. The cheese will add a rich, salty flavor, and the bread will help to soak up the broth.
