Ingredients

Directions

Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.

  1. Bring the chicken broth, vegetable broth and water to a boil in a large pot over medium-high heat.

  2. Add the cubed red potatoes, reduce the heat to medium, cover and simmer for about 8 minutes until the potatoes are nearly tender.

  3. Stir in the drained and rinsed cannellini beans, the shredded cooked chicken, the oregano, garlic powder and black pepper. Simmer for about 5 minutes, until the chicken is heated through to 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part.

  4. Stir in the shredded kale and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until wilted and tender.

  5. Taste the stew, season with salt to taste, and serve hot.
