Chicken, Black Bean and Cilantro Soup Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 small onion, diced small
• 1 cup celery, diced small (use celery leaves too if available)
• 2 tsp. olive oil
• 1 T ground cumin
• 1 T chile powder
• 1 tsp. celery seed
• 1 tsp. garlic powder or garlic puree
• 4 cups homemade chicken stock (or 2 cans chicken broth)
• 1 can vegetable broth
• 1 can petite diced tomatoes
• 1 cup salsa (I used Pace Picante Sauce)
• 6-8 drops Green Tabasco Sauce or your favorite hot sauce (taste to see if you want this)
• 1 or 2 cans black beans (not drained unless you choose to rinse the beans to reduce the amount of sodium)
• 2 cups cooked chicken, cut in very small pieces (leftover rotisserie chicken is great for this)
• 1 cup chopped cilantro leaves and stems (chop the stems very small), plus more for serving if desired
• 3 T fresh lime juice
