Chicken Cassoulet Soup image

After my sister spent a year in France as an au pair, I created this lighter, easier version of traditional French cassoulet for her. It uses chicken instead of the usual duck.-Bridget M. Klusman, Otsego, Michigan

I'm not a fan of thyme, so I omitted it from the recipe. The soup was still very flavorful.

I accidentally used chicken bouillon cubes instead of chicken broth. The soup was still good, but it was a little salty.

This soup was a bit too thick for my liking, so I added some extra broth.

I'm not a big fan of chicken, so I used tofu instead. The soup was still very good.

I didn't have any white beans, so I used black beans instead. The soup still turned out great!

I followed the recipe exactly and the soup turned out great. The only thing I would change is to add more vegetables.

This chicken cassoulet soup was a hit with my family! The flavors were rich and complex, and the chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender. I especially loved the crispy breadcrumb topping.
