This is in between a soup and chili. I love it because it's relatively healthy (low-fat) and thinner than a lot of other chili recipes. Easy and delicious!!! You don't have to second-guess how the flavor will come out because it's always good.

Santa Fe Chicken and White Bean Soup image

One of the most requested soups at Gubanc's Pub in Portland, Or. Their chef has created so many soups that they could serve a different one each day for 3 months. The amount of ingredients looks long and time-consuming, but you can actually put the spices together days before. This is a wonderful, soul-warming soup with terrific flavor.

Tips:

  • Soak the beans overnight. Soaking the beans overnight helps to soften them and reduce the cooking time. You can also quick-soak the beans by boiling them for 1 minute, then removing them from the heat and letting them soak for 1 hour.
  • Use a variety of beans. This recipe calls for a combination of black beans, pinto beans, and white beans, but you can use any type of beans you like. Try using different colors and textures of beans to create a more visually appealing soup.
  • Add vegetables to the soup. Vegetables such as onions, carrots, celery, and bell peppers add flavor and nutrition to the soup. You can also add other vegetables such as zucchini, corn, or spinach.
  • Use a flavorful broth. The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a flavorful one. You can use chicken broth, beef broth, or vegetable broth. If you're using a low-sodium broth, you may want to add a little salt to taste.
  • Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a dollop of sour cream or yogurt to the soup for a creamy finish.

Conclusion:

This Santa Fe bean soup is a hearty and flavorful soup that's perfect for a cold winter day. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a delicious and satisfying soup, give this recipe a try.
