There’s nothing like crawling out from under a rock and going to visit your best friend!  She has a way of challenging me to be a better person and I love her dearly for it.  I walked in her door Friday afternoon and she handed me a soup recipe to post on the site.  Basically, she told me to get back to work….where in the hell would we be without our friends?  Oh, and we did a little digging….

 

1 1/2 pounds boneless chicken breasts, cubed

1 bunch green onions, thinly sliced

1 red bell pepper, chopped

1 yellow bell pepper, chopped

4 fresh jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced (drop down to 2 if you’re a tenderfoot)

1 garlic clove, minced

1/2 t. ground ginger (I know, weird, right?)

1/2 t. salt

1/2 t. dried sagen

1/2 t. cumin

1/2 t. ground white pepper

 

1 T. olive oil

3 T. butter

1/4 Cup Flour

2 cups chicken broth

2 14 oz. cans great northern beans, undrained

 

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over med heat.  Add chicken and saute til cooked.  Remove chicken, add onion, peppers and garlic.  Return chicken, add spices to pan, mix together and melt butter.  Sprinkle flour over the top and whisk in the broth.  Stir in beans and simmer 15-20 minutes.  I’d finish this with some fresh cilantro and a dab of creme fraiche – up to you.  Isn’t it all REALLY up to you?
