A very sweet client of mine brought me lunch the other day: soup. I’m usually not a big fan of soup, no matter how bulked up it is with veggies or noodles or meats, because it still never fills me up. This soup, however, did so I had to ask her what was in it.
Ingredient list?
Chicken Broth.
Fat free Refried Beans.
Salsa.
That’s it.
The recipe? Just as simple.
I decided to make it last night, and it did not disappoint.
I mixed everything in a saucepan and heated it through.
Meanwhile, I grilled some chicken on my handy, dandy George Foreman Lean Mean Fat Reducing Grilling Machine.
I shredded it, mixed it in with the soup, topped it with some cheese and viola! Spicy Mexican Chicken Soup. I toasted half of a whole wheat hamburger bun and had a very filling, nutritious meal.
The best thing about this recipe is how versitile it is. You can add beans, ground beef or turkey, veggies: whatever you want. Mix in some sour cream, or crumble some tortilla chips on top: the possibilities are endless.
I mixed some of the leftovers with some brown rice for lunch today, and honestly, I think its better this way.

Your right that is simple. I love refried beans as well. Thank you for participting in the second edition of the SFF Blog Carnival.
I just finally got around to trying this tonight. YUMMY! I threw in a couple spoonfuls of Oikos Greek Yogurt, and then stirred some honey into the rest of the yogurt for dessert. I think this will become a staple around this house.
This looks so easy, delicious and healthy. Doesn’t get any better than that!

Oooo, I bet if you added corn it would be good too! YUMMY! Thanks Kelly!
“Simple” and “good” and “filling” are the magic words here. I’m definitely going to make this!
Made it, ate it, really liked it. Added about 2 cups water, can of black beans,lots of cumin (I have a cumin addiction) and about 3-4 cups pureed San Marzano tomatoes.
Served w/ a bit of yogurt mixed in. Everyone loved it, had to tell 3-y-o picky eater that Dora called me with the recipe, then he loved it too :)

Ha it says it on the thing? that’s hilarious, I even have one and have never noticed
fbg- i used the whole cans of broth and beans, and then half of the jar of salsa (i should have mentioned that.) for thicker soup, use less broth.
modelbehavior- no, thats just the name of it, it says it on the front. Ive never seen a full episode of sex and the city 1) because i dont have cable and 2) SJP’s face and Kim Catrall’s cleavage freak me out.
WOw, thats really new recipe but it sure does look good. Nevertheless, i shall give it a try myself! Thanks for sharing:)
Really?! Just one can/jar of each, heat, and you have soup?! And so many different things you can add to it?! I just found a new favorite meal!
“lean mean fat reducing grilling machine”
this exact quote is said by Aiden in Sex and the city, and if you tell me that is where you got it from, I will love you even more then I do now, because that show is fantastical
