Southwestern Black Bean Soup




This is a recipe that I've tweaked and adjusted many times until I've found the perfect combo of ingredients. It really is awesome and you will be showered with complements when you make a pot. If you can, use smoked chicken...if not, regular 'ol chicken will do. Also, don't forget to serve it with corn bread, it complements the soup perfectly.


Southwestern Black Bean Soup

1 can Trader Joe's Cuban Style Black Beans (don't drain and rinse)

5 cans regular Black Beans (drain and rinsed)

1 large, quart-sized can of Chicken Broth

1 can of diced tomatoes preferably fire roasted

2 green peppers, chopped

1 small onion, chopped

1 clove of garlic minced

olive oil

3 or more chicken breasts cooked and chopped into bite-sized pieces

4 t ground cumin

salt and pepper

Cook peppers, onions and garlic in olive oil, after a few minutes add cumin, salt and pepper. Allow to cook for a few more minutes and add tomatoes; allow to cook for a few minutes.

Meanwhile in a blender, blend together the cuban style beans and one can of the regular black beans along with a 1/2 cup or so of the broth. Add to pot.

Add rest of beans and chicken to pot and allow to simmer for a few hours before serving.

Serve with cornbread.
