Ingredients
1 bag dry black beans1 Tbsp olive oil3 cloves garlic, minced1 cup chopped carrot1 cup sliced celery1 pound skinless boneless chicken breast1 tsp cayenne1 tsp cumin1 tsp onion powder1 packet taco seasoning1 can rotel1 cup frozen corn
Sort, rinse and soak the beans overnight (or use the quick soak method on the bag). Rinse the beans and add 6 cups water, bring to a boil and simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until tender.
When the beans are nearly finished, cut the chicken into small bite size pieces and season with the cayenne, cumin and onion powder. Saute the seasoned chicken, garlic, carrots and celery in the olive oil until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is no longer pink.
When the beans are tender, you can rinse the beans and add a couple of cups of clean water at this point, I just used the cooking water - depends whether you want the dark color to the soup or not.
Add the taco seasoning, the chicken/veggies, and the rotel to the beans, bring to a boil and reduce the heat. Simmer for at least 30 minutes or up to an hour. Add the corn and cook until the corn is heated through.
Enjoy with a tablespoon or two of shredded cheddar, a dollop of sour cream, and a couple of baked tortilla chips (garnish's not included in the nutritional info)
Makes 10 servings about 1 1/2 cups each.
Number of Servings: 10
