Ingredients
1 Roasting Chicken (smoked if you wish)3 boxes of Chicken Broth3-4 chopped carrots1 fresh onion, chopped3 stalks Celery, chopped 3 medium potatoes, chopped6 cups shredded Cabbage (I use 1 bag shredded slaw mix)2 cups dried northern beans 1 pkg Trader Joes Cumin & Chili Chickpeas1 cup Trader Joes Three Grains Blend1 Tbsp dried Parsley1 tsp dried Basil1 tsp dried oregano
Directions
Makes 10-20 portions depending on if you are using it as an appetizer or as a dinner. I set it at 12 and that makes for big, hearty servings.

1) Roast or smoke your chicken. Remove chicken from the bones and chop. Place in refrigerator until needed.
2) Rinse beans and pick out the bad ones. Place in crockpot on high with 2 boxes of chicken stock.
3) Cut veggies and place in pot on stove with remaining box of chicken stock and cook on low for 1 hr. Allow to cool.
4) When beans are nearly done cooking add chopped chicken and remaining ingredients. You may need to add more stock or water.
5) If your family is "picky" you may puree the stewed veggies and place them in the soup. If they are not, just add them all to the pot along with the broth they were cooked in.
