Ingredients

    2 cans black beans
    1 lb cut up chicken pieces (no skin!)
    1 quart chicken broth + 1 cup
    16 oz jar prepared salsa
    1 cup corn
    1.5 cups chopped mushrooms
    2 cups chopped cabbage
    2 cups chopped kale
    1 large onion
    2 tsp cumin
    1 tsp cayenne pepper
    1 tsp salt (optional)

    optional garnishes: shredded cheese, avocado slices, fresh cilantro

Directions

Use a slow cooker, 4 or 6 qt.
* Can use dry beans & soak them overnight. Drain & rinse the beans & put into stoneware.
Add the chicken cut up, broth, and salsa. Add the corn, mushrooms, kale, cabbage & chopped onion. Add 2 tsp. cumin + salt to taste. Also, seems to do well with 1 tsp. cayenne pepper added.

Cover & cook on low for 6-8 hrs, or high for 5 hrs. One can thicken the soup by taking out 2-3 cups when done cooking & run in blender. Stir back in to soup. Mix in 1/2 cup sour cream before serving.

Garnishes: shredded cheese, avocado slices, fresh cilantro
