Simply simmering a spice blend into store-bought chicken broth instantly turns it into a deeply flavorful soup. A mix of canned white beans and shredded leftover roast chicken makes this a hearty one-pot meal that comes together in minutes. If you have unseasoned homemade chicken stock on hand, definitely use it here.
