Hi guys, here is a easy and delicious recipe for you. I make this recipe right before I started work and it was so easy and quick to do. I see this on WW and it sounded good, so I of course added my touches to this recipe and wonderful it was.
I wasn’t sure if my family would like two kinds of beans in a soup, but they seem not to mind it and in fact they loved this recipe. The only points really on this recipe is the meat portion, but if you use turkey or a low fat sausage that would be even better. You can also turn this into a vegetarian soup by omitting the meat and use vegetable broth instead of chicken.
Leftovers are even better on this dish. The next day I had this for lunch and the flavors really shined the next day. This recipe is a keeper for my family.
