Tagged for 1-2-3- Tag Jan 2007 Well I was unsure how we would like this type of chicken soup but now it will go into my faves. Never used kidney beans in my chicken soup before and was waiting for the "what is that?", but DH and friends enjoyed this. The salsa I used was mild, but I did set out some red pepper flakes for those more inclined to HOT. The cheese did it for me. I can have cheese for dessert. :) Very good recipe and highly recommended for a different type of chicken soup with some robust flavors.

This is really very good for such a quick soup. I just love things like that. I had a can of mixed beans and used that without draining. Sadly the last salsa I bought is as thin as water and I know that a thicker one would have been better. I micro-ed the chicken them chopped it up and tossed it all in and the spinach was an excellent addition. Good job Sweety.

My name is Sara. I live in Portland, OR and I work at a retirement community in the Wellness department. I love to cook! I occasionally do cooking demonstrations at work and typically have over 40 people! This is a lot considering I have no professional training, and I never really cooked at all until a few years after high school. I try to focus on cooking healthy foods, though I believe if you're going to indulge you might as well go all the way (case in point: Black Forest Cake)! I'm always looking for new and unusual recipes and my main source is the net, currently 'zaar. I've been more successful here than anywhere else! I also subscribe to Light & Tasty (part of Taste of Home) and I highly recommend that magazine, it really proves that you can eat healthy and enjoy it.
