    Recipe Introduction


    "Fight off the cold of winter with this easy soup made crock-pot ready by the end of the day."


    List of Ingredients




    Black Bean Chicken Soup


    4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
    1 tablespoon minced garlic (3-4 cloves)
    2 cans (14.5 oz. ea.) chicken broth
    2 cups dried black beans
    2 cans (14.5 oz. ea.) Mexican style stewed tomatoes
    1 cup salsa
    1 teaspoon cumin
    1/4 teaspoon black pepper
    1/2 teaspoon ground dried oregano
    1/2 teaspoon ground dried thyme
    2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
    1 tablespoon lemon juice
    3 hard cooked egg, garnish, optional
    Chopped fresh cilantro, optional
    Flour tortilla, optional

    Recipe



    Preferably, cover beans with cold water and soak overnight. Drain and discard soaking water.

    Cut chicken breasts in fourths; place chicken, garlic, broth, beans, tomatoes, salsa, cumin, black pepper, oregano and thyme in a crock-pot. Be sure crock pot is at least half full. Cover, cook on low 8-10 hours, or until beans are tender.

    Add lemon juice to soup; if desired, partially mash beans with a fork by pressing against the sides of the crock pot - be careful not to overly stir and shred chicken. Spoon beans and chicken into serving bowls. Add shredded cheese, garnish with chopped hard cooked egg, and chopped cilantro. Serve with warm flour tortillas.

    Serves 10.
