Black Bean and Pollo Soup


Serves: 6, 1 1/3 Cup Servings


1 C. Refried Black Beans *
1 C. Organic Chicken Broth
1 C. Organic Pace Picante Sauce, mild or medium depending on preference
1 C. Water
1 C. Canned Black Beans, Rinsed *
1 C. (Approx. 6 ounces) Cooked Chicken Breast, cut into bite sized pieces
1 C. Frozen Corn
1, 4 oz. can diced green chilies
1 C. Kraft Free (Fat Free) Shredded Cheese (You can substitute low fat cheese if desired!)

*Replace the refried black beans and canned black beans with pinto bean products if desired!


Combine refried beans, chicken broth, salsa and water in a large soup pot. Stir over medium heat until smooth and it begins to gently boil. (Watch the heat, the refried beans can burn easily!) Add remaining ingredients, cooking over medium heat. Stir occasionally until heated through and cheese is melted. This recipe is awesome with extra lean ground turkey or extra lean ground beef instead of chicken! Make this and freeze ahead in a large freezer bag for an easy meal!
