Quick and easy to make tomato chicken soup with cherry tomatoes and white beans will warm your soul and make you feel better on even the worst of days. Gluten free and dairy free too.

I just spent an incredible week in Italy with my parents and D. Imagine the gorgeous cliff side villages of the Cinque Terre to narrow lanes and canals of Venice. Italy is simply beautiful and utterly delicious.

Too many cappuccinos, pizzas and glasses of sparkling Prosecco to count wihtin just 1 week of stay in Italy.

And now, after all that fun I’m sick. More accurately D caught a cold and now I’ve caught the same one from him.

What a downer, right?

I’m just tired, achy and generally feel bleh.

What I really need is a huge pot of hot steaming soup.

So, I came up with this tomato chicken soup with cherry tomatoes and white beans recipe before falling asleep last night. This is what I do before bed — brainstorm recipe ideas.

And this morning I made a pot of home made chicken broth with an entire whole chicken and then threw this soup recipe all together.

Fresh spring cherry tomatoes are simply bursting with flavor as are the fresh sharp herbs.

Soft shredded chicken and aromatic chicken broth can’t be beat.

White beans seemed to be a good addition to the mix, to make the soup with cherry tomatoes even healthier and more filling.

This was exactly what I needed today and I won’t even deny that I ate at least 3 bowls of this tomato chicken soup with cherry tomatoes today.

And then made a whole new batch – so I’d have some more soup for tomorrow.

I love soup all the time! I know I’ve said this more than once, but especially when I’m sick, this tomato chicken soup with cherry tomatoes and white beans is really what I need. it just soothes your whole body.
