I modified the recipe a little bit. I started by sautéing chopped onion and diced chicken cubes. I then added the soup ingredients but didn’t do the puree leaving the beans, chicken, onions and salsa ingredients whole. The final result was a raving success according to my husband. It was definitely a hearty winter comfort food. We are so happy to find such a satisfying phase 1 recipe.
Karen, i think i’ll try this recipe w/ckn too.
This whole time I thought black beans was considered a starch and was not allowed in phase 1…awesome! I will definitely try this recipe..
