Ingredients
  

  • 4 slices bacon finely chopped
  • 1 onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic finely chopped
  • 1 lb red potatoes cubed
  • 32 oz chicken broth
  • 1 rotisserie chicken or 1 bag shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 2 15 oz cans small white beans drained and rinsed
  • 5 oz baby arugula
  • 1 lime juiced
  • to taste salt and pepper

Instructions
 

  • Place chopped bacon in a large soup pot or Dutch oven and cook over medium heat for about five minutes. You want the pieces cooked but not crisp.
  • Add onions and garlic and cook another five minutes or so, until softened.
  • Add potatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a boil then reduce to simmer for about fifteen minutes, until potatoes are tender.
  • If using a whole rotisserie chicken you can skin and de-bone your chicken, then cut the meat into bite-sized pieces, while the soup simmers.
  • Add chicken and white beans to soup, and cook about five minutes, until heated through.
  • Just before serving, add arugula, lime juice, and salt and pepper to taste.
