I wash my chicken and then pat it dry...

I cut up my zucchini and brown it in my dutch oven. You can use a normal pot.

Then I drain the beans..

I pour the beans over the browned zucchini

Next I brown the chicken in a separate pot

I then pour my soup over the veggies while my chicken is becoming cooked.

I place the chicken in the soup and cook it on low heat.

I add in the garlic.

I will keep it on low until I am ready to serve it and the soup is hot.

I finish the soup off with the cheese.

It is really great and it is a great soup to place in a freezer bag and freeze flat. I had help from my kids who were able to do the cutting and the can opening and the pouring. I didn't let them do the actual cooking.
