This soup was great! And it was so easy, too. Halved the recipe but still used one can of beans. I also subbed normal salsa for the green. It was great; next time I might add a bit more seasoning for more spice.
Southwestern Chicken and White Bean Soup
We really like the extra zing of flavor from the fresh cilantro. It adds a nice burst of color to the dish as well. Simply toss some of the distinctive herb on top of the soup just before serving.
