Southwest Chicken and Black Bean Soup

This recipe came together in about 15 minutes this morning and it was great! I used leftover homemade black beans, so if you choose to use the canned variety be sure to rinse them to eliminate the excess sodium. This is fantastic with corn bread.

1 onion, chopped fine
1 Tbsp. olive oil
5 cups water
2 cans black beans or 2 cups cooked
1 (14.5 oz.) can diced tomatoes
1 cup cooked brown rice
½ tsp. salt
2 tsp. chicken bouillon granules
2 tsp. cumin
½ tsp. garlic powder (not garlic salt)
2 tsp. chili powder
1 10oz. package frozen corn
½ lb. boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into small pieces

In a large sauce pan, sautee the onion in the olive oil until soft. Then add water, beans, tomatoes, rice, seasonings, corn and chicken. Simmer at least 15 to 20 minutes to allow the chicken to cook and the flavors to blend.
Serves 10.

Hi Lori! This is a great recipe. I made this for lunch today....I accidentaly opened a little can of tomato sauce instead of chopped tomatoes..but it still turned out really good! Hope you are well with you. -Christina G.
