Black Bean and Chicken Soup

Recipe #96467 | 5½ hours | 20 min prep | add private note

This is so tasty, and healthy too! We love black beans. Prep time does not include soaking and cooking the beans, but does include cooking the chicken. You can, of course, substitute canned beans, just drain them. The soup can also be frozen in a sturdy plastic container, or a ziploc bag. To serve, defrost and heat in microwave or on stovetop.

    Made this on the stove top and added the garli-sauteed chicken bites just before serving. Nicely flavored beans, Amanda Beth.

    This soup was very good. I was a little afraid of the amount of cumin, it sounded like a lot, so I halved it. Truthfully, it would have been better with the listed amount. I also used two cans of black beans. Thanks for a great recipe!

    Excellent - so simple yet produces a very tasty, filling soup. Didn't change anything except added some Mrs Dash for some extra flavor and used canned beans. Thanks!
