2 (10 1/2 ounce) cans chicken broth
3 (15 ounce) cans black beans
1 green bell pepper
1 red bell pepper
1 small onion

1 bay leaf
1 pinch tarragon
1 pinch oregano
1 pinch cinnamon

Steps:

In a medium sized skillet cook chicken that's been seasoned with seasoned salt until done and no longer pink.
Dice and set aside.
Finely chop bell peppers, onion and jalapeño slices in food processor or by hand if you like larger pieces.
Combine all peppers, onion and jalapeño and add lemon juice and a pinch of salt.
Melt margarine in a large stock pot.
Sauté pepper and onion mixture until soft.
Add can of crushed tomatoes, stirring.
Add three cans of black beans, undrained.
Add chicken to pot, stirring carefully; then add chicken broth to soup and stir.
Next, add bay leaf, about a teaspoon of season salt, tarragon and cinnamon.
Let simmer until flavors are combined and peppers and onion are soft and tender about one hour, or until it smells so good you cannot wait.
Serve with Recipe #43730.

Tips:

For a vegetarian version of this soup, omit the chicken and add an extra 15-ounce can of black beans, rinsed and drained.
To make this soup in a slow cooker, brown the chicken in a skillet over medium heat, then transfer it to the slow cooker. Add the remaining ingredients and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours.
Serve this soup with a dollop of sour cream, guacamole, or shredded cheese.
For a spicier soup, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few dashes of hot sauce.
For a more hearty soup, add a cup of cooked rice or quinoa.
