I absolutely love this Green Chile Chicken Bean Soup. It’s clean, fresh and healthy for you, not to mention super delicious! 

Green Chile Chicken Bean Soup

You can add black beans or white beans to this soup, I much prefer black beans myself so that is what I used.

Black beans are a good source of antioxidants making this one of the healthiest beans around. Also I  like to use “Better than Bouillon” Chicken stock in replace of liquid stock. We buy ours from Costco, so instead of using 7 cups of liquid Chicken Stock, we use 2 tbsp of that instead.

So if your interested in trying it out, the link is below in my amazon picks. The key to making this soup extra special is using two different types of chiles.

Both in powder form, “Pasilla Chile powder”, which it is a mild to medium-hot chile that is rich in flavor. And “California Chile Powder” which is has a nice mild heat to it. The combination of these two spices will add a great taste to this soup.

Most people are surprised at how filling it is also, typically most people get full just off half a bowl. Because one cup of Black Beans has packed 15.2 grams of protein adding that chicken breasts to that and you are sure to be satisfied for dinner with this soup.

This recipe really goes a long way, so you can feed a family of 6 and easily stores for leftovers. I like to make a big batch, and then I will freeze a few meal prep bowls for another day.

Leaving out the avocado and cilantro of course, those foods don’t taste as  good reheated.

I like to soak my black beans the night prior, however you can always use canned if you prefer.

I like to soak my black beans the night prior, however you can always use canned if you prefer. I made this soup in my crock pot, took less than 5 minutes to throw together.

Then I placed it on low for 8-10 hours, or you can place it on high for 5. And of course this also can be done on the stove top, or on the browning setting in the slow cooker as well. Just make sure you are simmering it long enough to tenderize the chicken breasts, you may need to add more water if your following the last two methods.

 

Did you know that the fiber in black beans actually helps lower the total amount of cholesterol in the blood and decrease the risk of heart disease? Well if that is not more reason enough to eat more of these beans, then I don’t know what is! I like to serve it with fresh chunks of avocado and sometimes a spoonful or two of sour cream. You can cook this on the stove top as well, both methods work great. I hope you give this a try because it’s super delicious!

Note: Also try adding in some sour cream, to make it more creamy.
