On your mark, get set, cook: 30 minutes to a hearty fall supper.
Picture this: You arrive home tired and frazzled, and the family’s already clamoring for supper—now! You’ve got to make it quick and easy, but nutritional balance is a top priority too. Minimal cleanup would also be nice.
This fragrant, Italian-flavored soup takes advantage of quick-cooking ingredients—boneless, skinless chicken breast, bagged baby spinach and canned beans. It features a simple homemade basil pesto swirled in at the end to add a fresh herb flavor. If you are very pressed for time, you can substitute 3 to 4 tablespoons of a store-bought basil pesto.
