Southwestern Chicken Chilli Soup

This recipe is extremely fast and easy to cook - ideal for one of those nights when you are so hungry you could eat bugs in your apartment for protein but too lazy to even try. Just watch out - it's spicay! (And those are black things in the picture are beans, not bugs).

1 can Chicken breast chunks
1 can Low-sodium chicken broth

1 can Black beans ( washed and drained )
2 tsp. Cumin
1 tsp. Garlic powder
1 tsp. Kosher salt
1 TBSP. Ground black pepper
2 TBSP. Cilantro ( or fresh if you have some )
1--2 TBSP. Chilli powder
1--4 TBSP. Cayenne pepper ( if you feel sexy and/or spicy )
Juice of 2 Limes

In a large pot, lightly spray the bottom with olive-oil cooking spray and turn heat to medium-high. Add onion and saute for 2-3 minutes. Add all 6 cans of ingredients (try adding them in order listed). Add spices and lime juice. Reduce heat to low, let simmer for 30-45 minutes covered, making sure to stir occasionally. Serve while it's hot!

  3. Thanks! And yes, I took that picture, I put it in the sun so it would look more appetizing and I also took it with my camera not my phone. But thank you, and yes Scott that would be a good idea, I didn't even think about that.
