White Bean Chicken Stew

Bookmark and Share

It started raining in the Pacific Northwest today, which marks the start of The Wet Season. Hey, sun? I'll see ya in June.

To get past the grays, I like to be happy about something else: Saving Money. You can serve a family of six with this soup, and most likely get away with using just one or two chicken breasts.

HA!

Economy, you will not get one past me! I will EAT BEAN SOUP and I will LIKE IT. So there.

Cheapskates unite, and enjoy this soup.


White Bean Chicken Stew

1 medium onion, chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon canola oil
4 cups chicken broth
2 cans (15.5 oz each) great northern beans, rinsed and drained
1 1/4 teaspoons ground cumin
2 cups cooked chicken breast
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

In a large saucepan, saute the onion, jalapeno and garlic in oil until tender. Add the broth, beans and cumin. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until heated through. Add chicken and parsley; heat through. 6 servings.

Sometimes I saute the veggies and then just toss them and the rest of the ingredients in the crock pot to cook on low for a few hours.

I know we will enjoy this soup! It sounds great and I have extra jalepenos from my friends garden that I need to use up! Thanks!

Yum! The only good thing about all this rain is all the comfort food and a fire in the fireplace. It's such a LONG time until the sun comes back.
