Tomato Basil Chicken Stew

With the up coming winter storm, I wanted to stock up on something warm and healthy! This was super easy, it took maybe 30 minutes time tops. You can also do it in a crockpot!

You will need:

One rotisserie chicken, white meat shredded and set aside
1 oz olive oil
1.5 cups of chopped carrots
1.5 cups of chopped celery
1 cup of chopped white onion
4 garlic cloves, chopped
2 cans (28 oz) of whole tomatoes, undrained
1 can of cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
2 handfuls of baby spinach
1/4 cup of chopped basil
salt and pepper to taste
crushed red pepper to taste

In a large stock pot, saute carrots, onions, celery and garlic until onions are golden and tender (about 10 minutes). Then all add the ingredients.  Mash up the tomatoes in the pot. Give it a few good stirs and bring to a boil. Cover partially and reduce to a simmer for about 15 minutes. That's it! I served mine with organic whole wheat bread. Enjoy!

* You can always add some water if you want to make it more soupy!
