Just kidding....I am posting this because 'tis the season for warm soup. It is really hard for me to find healthy things that my kids like and this one is a big request for my children. Reese has already requested it for her birthday dinner. That is over McDonalds people! Oh and if you are doing WW it is only 3 points if you don't add the garnish.
Enjoy :)
1T butter
1 Onion Minced
1 Shredded Carrot
4 chicken breast, cubed
1T ground cumin
1T chicken Bouillon
1/8 ground red pepper (leave out if you have kids)
2 cans Chicken Broth 14.5 oz
3 cans great northern beans, rinsed and drained (set one can aside)
1 can green chilies
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1/4 flour (
1/4 milk
Garnish with:
Green onions, sour cream and cheddar cheese
Melt butter add onion and carrot over medium high heat. Cook for 2 min. then add chicken. Once chicken is cooked add seasonings, broth, 2 cans of beans (rinsed and drained), green chilies and cilantro. Bring to a boil.
Drain and rinse the 3rd can of beans and mash. Add the flour and milk and mix. Slowly add to soup and once mixed simmer for 20 min.
It freezes well to if you would like to make a double batch. This is always a hit when I make it for people so if you know anyone who is having a baby bring it on over to their house :)

Reese
husband and wife
Okay Dallas when you hit the ball you need to run to 1st base, 2nd base, and then home.....no mom! I don't want to go home!Reese was outside singing today while she was on the swing. And she says to me. "Mom, the sun is coming out because I am singing....I am wakin it up!" Keep singing girl, keep singing!Dallas: Look mom his doesn't have twin wheels! (translation:training wheels)Dallas: When I am a daddy....I want one of those baby Norahs.So sweet!Reese: Mom I like these things...What things? Reese: These Rat-tat-too-ies Do you mean Tattoos?Reese: Yah! TattoosDallas was holding Norah and this is what he said....Norah pooped. She pooped 3 times....Oooo....she pooped 10 times mom!!Reese was going to the bathroom and when she was done she looked (as all kids do) and said "oooo, look mom. I ate carrots!"Reese has been wanting her ears pierced. She spent that night at Ambers house and asked her if she could do it. Amber told her that it would hurt and after she did one ear she would have to do the second ear. She said "how bout you do the second ear first"We been telling the kids that Norah can't have anything to eat because she is to little. Dallas walks in the hospital and get up to look at Norah and says: "I want to see if she has a mouth"In the morning when the kids wake up they come and crawl in bed with us. I was laying on my side talking with Reese. She looked at me and said "Mom...your boobs are hugging" I just laughed. She then said "they love each other" The thoughts of a 5 ....and just in case you were wondering. I was wearing a tank top ;)Mom....when I am a mom I will have two kids and then we will have lots of kids at our house!!(And what do we have now...I am thinking)Dallas looked at my blog and the picture of the "barefoot and pregnant""mommy that's you!"Boy do I love that kid ;)My room is usually a mess. Of course I have all the "good" excuses as to why :) Well my surprise when I got home from work was a nice clean room with a made bed.When Reese came and got me this morning she said "Mom your room is Amazing!"
the things they say...
Reese: Hey mom look! She walks just fine and doesn't even need a cane! (we were at costco and she said this about an elderly lady...nice!)

Sounds yummy - I'll have to try this. I'm needed some new recipes to make.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to try this. I'm not a big soup person but Oystein loves it and Alex actually eats beans sometimes.
ReplyDeletethis sounds delicous! I will have to try it someday!
ReplyDeleteooh... sounds lip smacking delicioso!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this soup!!! How big is the serving for only 3 points?
ReplyDeleteI'm going to go buy the ingredients today. Sounds good. Although, what are great northern beans???
ReplyDeleteYa, what are great norther beans? It's going to be chilly down here within the next couple days and I already have soup planned on our menu at home twice this week. I will give this a shot next week, just gotta know what those beans are.
ReplyDeleteGreat Northern beans are a white bean it will say it on the can. If they do not have them they should have a bean called "white bean" but so far I have been able to buy great northern every where I go.
ReplyDeleteAlso if you don't have the chicken Bouillon as the powder you can use 3 of the cubed.
So I made my list, went to the market, and OF COURSE I forget something...the story of my life. So how does the soup taste without the chilies, or do I need to make the trip back to the store??
