Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, strips
1 (15 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
2 (10 1/2 ounce) cans chicken broth
3 (15 ounce) cans black beans
1 green bell pepper
1 red bell pepper
1 small onion
1 tablespoon lemon juice
6 -8 slices jalapeno peppers (the pickled kind from a jar)
2 tablespoons margarine
season salt (I used Emeril's Southwest)
1 bay leaf
1 pinch tarragon
1 pinch oregano
1 pinch cinnamon

Steps:

In a medium sized skillet cook chicken that's been seasoned with seasoned salt until done and no longer pink.
Dice and set aside.
Finely chop bell peppers, onion and jalapeño slices in food processor or by hand if you like larger pieces.
Combine all peppers, onion and jalapeño and add lemon juice and a pinch of salt.
Melt margarine in a large stock pot.
Sauté pepper and onion mixture until soft.
Add can of crushed tomatoes, stirring.
Add three cans of black beans, undrained.
Add chicken to pot, stirring carefully; then add chicken broth to soup and stir.
Next, add bay leaf, about a teaspoon of season salt, tarragon and cinnamon.
Let simmer until flavors are combined and peppers and onion are soft and tender about one hour, or until it smells so good you cannot wait.
Serve with Recipe #43730.

Tips:

Use fresh ingredients whenever possible. Fresh vegetables and herbs will give your soup the best flavor.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices. The flavors in this soup are customizable, so feel free to add or remove spices to suit your taste.
Don't overcook the chicken. Overcooked chicken will be tough and chewy. Cook it just until it is cooked through.
Let the soup simmer for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
Serve the soup with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include sour cream, shredded cheese, and avocado.
