My all-time favorite soup recipe, passed down to me from a dear co-worker who also owned a restaurant. I have modified it in plenty of different ways (including substituing leftover Thanksgiving turkey for the chicken) and it never fails to please. It is simmering on the stove right now.
2 tsp. oil
3/4 c. chopped onion
2 c. boneless cooked chopped chicekn breast
1 1/2 c chopped carrot
3/4 c. chopped red pepper
3/4 c. thinly sliced celery
1/4 c. chopped green chiles
3/4 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 tsp. cumin
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. black pepper
1 16oz can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
1 14 1/2 oz can chicken broth
3 Tab. jarred pesto.
Heat oil in a Dutch overn over medium heat. Add onion, carrot, red pepper, and celery and saute for 4-5 minutes. Add chicken and the next 6 ingredients (chiles through broth). Bring to a boil. Cover. Reduce heat and simmer for 25 minutes. Stir in pesto.

kaethe--you are making me hungry! this sounds really good (and warm) :) i probably should be going to figure dinner out while everyone is sleeping but tim just left for london today (for 9 days!!) and i have been helping him get ready yesterday and this morning and am not too organized here.
ReplyDeletemy kids love anything that involves beans (they steal them out of the colander in the sink while they are draining!!) so i might try this soon.
