Chicken Verde Soup

‘Stole’  this recipe from a blog via Pinterest … I changed the name to more suit its ingredients … it was named ‘white chicken chili’ and as you can see from ingredients it does not contain anything to make it ‘white’ besides fact that chicken is white LOL  I used Cannellini Beans cause that’s what I had on hand.  You can easily substitute Navy or Great Northern Beans ... the taste would be just a slight difference and not at all wrong.  This soup is not only EASY (just 5 ingredients) it is also very flavorful ... yummm yummmm yummm ... a definite keeper!!!

I served mine with chopped Green Onions and Diced Avocado ...
second time around I added a sprinkling of Shredded Mexican Cheese!  Yummy!

Chicken Verde Soup

4 cans Chicken Broth

4 cups cooked Shredded Chicken

2 cans Cannellini Beans, drained

2 cups Salsa Verde

2 tsps Ground Cumin

Topping Suggestions: Diced Avocado, Chopped Fresh Cilantro, Shredded Mexican Cheese, Chopped Green Onions, Sour Cream, Crumbled Tortilla Chips

Place all ingredients in a soup pot and stir to combine.  Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then cover, reduce heat to low and simmer for at about 20-30 minutes.  NOTE: This could easily be made in a crock pot set on low!

Black Bean Fajitas

 Black Bean Fajitas

I don't really have a recipe for them since I just usually throw it together for a quick meal.  But I'll tell ya how I make them.

You'll Need:

Tortillas

1 can Black Beans, undrained

Cumin

Cilantro

3 Cheese Mexican Blend

Olive Oil

Place the Black Beans in a pot and add about a teaspoon of Cumin and a tablespoon of Cilantro (fresh is best if you have it).  Bring to a low boil and simmer for about 5 minutes.  With a slotted spoon dip out enough Black Beans to cover one Tortilla.

Then spread the Mexican Cheese over the Black Beans and top with a second Tortilla.  

Next heat a little Olive Oil in a skillet.  Add your Fajita and cook about 2 minutes on each side over medium heat.

That's it!  Simple, easy, quick and healthy, if you use the right ingredients.
