I make this soup on meal prep day and store it in containers for lunches or dinner during the week. The bones in the roasted chicken breasts give the broth a good flavor. I use a little flour to thicken it a bit. It's comes out like a cross between cream of broccoli soup and traditional chicken soup. Recipe makes 6 servings (about 2 cups each).
Preheat oven to 375.
Roast the chicken breasts in the oven for about 1.25 hours .
Allow the chicken to rest for 15 minutes and remove the skin.
Note: you can skip this step and use precooked boneless skinless chicken breast instead, but I prefer it roasted if I have the time.
In a stockpot (on low heat), add the white wine, 1 cup of the water, the flour and onions. Mix to combine.
Heat and stir until the mixture thickens (about 5 minutes).
Add the remaining water, carrots, broccoli, chicken breasts and garlic powder.
Bring it to a boil, then lower the heat and allow it to simmer 1 hour.
Remove the chicken breasts from the pot.
Use a fork to detach the chicken meat from the bones.
Add the shredded chicken back to the pot (without the bones).
Add the navy beans and mix to combine.
