Ingredients

6-8 cups chicken broth homemade or store-bought
2-3 tbs butter
1 onion diced
3 potatoes diced
3 carrots diced (I leave the skin on)
3 stalks celery diced
1 cup split red lentils
1-2 cups pre-cooked chicken shredded
1 can great northern beans drained and rinsed
2 tsp garlic powder
1 tbs dried parsley
1 tbs dried rosemary
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

In a large pot over medium heat, add butter, onions, and celery. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until they start to become translucent.
Add carrots, celery, potatoes, split red lentils, rosemary, garlic powder, and dried parsley. Saute for about 4-5 minutes.
Add in broth and bring to a boil. Boil about 10 minutes, and then add in pre-cooked chicken, great northern beans, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook about 5 more minutes or until potatoes and carrots are fork tender.
Serve and enjoy.

Notes

The smaller the dice on the potatoes, celery, onion, and carrots the shorter the cook time.
