Abby Gail's Hearty Bean Soup

Abby Gail's Hearty Bean Soup

Soup Ingredients: 

1 bag 15 bean soup mix (soak beans overnight)

5 cups water

3 cups low-sodium chicken broth

1 (28 ounce can) chopped tomatoes

3 large chicken breast, marinated, recipe below

3 large jalapeños, sliced with seeds

1 onion, chopped

2 Tablespoons minced garlic

salt and pepper as needed

Marinade Ingredients:

3 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped

juice of 2 limes

1 garlic glove minced

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 Table minced cilantro

Combine all marinade ingredients in zip lock bag along with chicken and marinade overnight in refrigerator.  Soak beans overnight in 3 times the liquid of beans.  In crock pot combine soak beans, water, chicken broth, jalapeños, onion, garlic, and marinaded chicken.  Cook on high for about 4 hours, until beans are tender.  Stir in tomatoes 30 minutes before serving.  Salt and pepper as needed.

I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.  It's a great recipe to make using your crockpot.  If your lucky enough to have leftovers if freezes beautifully.
