Instructions

Soak the 15-bean mix overnight according to package directions, then drain.
Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and oregano.
Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven and sear chicken until golden and cooked through; remove and shred.
In the same pot, sauté the onion and garlic until translucent.
Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes, tomato paste, red pepper flakes, and the bean seasoning packet.
Add the drained beans and chicken broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until beans are tender, about 60-90 minutes.
Stir in the shredded chicken, heavy cream, and parmesan cheese until heated through.
Garnish with fresh basil before serving.

Notes

Ensure all beans are tender before adding the cream and cheese. The flavors develop even better the next day, making this an excellent meal-prep candidate. If you prefer a thicker soup, mash a few spoonfuls of the cooked beans against the side of the pot.
