Black Bean and Chicken Soup

Ingredients

  • 1 lb black beans, soaked, cooked, and drained
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut in bite size pieces
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 large onions, diced
  • 2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans diced tomatoes, one can drained only
  • 2 cups corn
  • 2 (14 ounce) cans chicken broth (I use 99% fat free)
  • 2 tablespoons cumin
  • 2 tablespoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons black pepper

Method

  1. Coat the chicken pieces with 1/2 tsp cumin powder, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  2. In a pan with a little oil, cook the seasoned chicken until it is browned and fully cooked, which should take roughly 5-7 minutes.
  3. Place the cooked chicken along with all the remaining ingredients into your slow cooker.
  4. Mix everything thoroughly and sample the broth to adjust the seasoning to your personal preference.
  5. Set the crockpot to high for one hour, then reduce the heat to low and continue cooking for another 3-4 hours, or until you are ready to eat.
  6. The soup is finished whenever your schedule allows.
