Winter seems to be in full swing and all I want to eat is soup. This soup has a lot of great flavors in it and is very low in calories and fat. You can even make it healthier by making it vegetarian and leaving the chicken thighs out. There are two kinds of beans in the soup so you will still get lots of great protein without the chicken. This is a great crockpot recipe, try it out!
Peasant Stew
1 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
6 chicken thighs, skinned (about 1.5 pounds)
1 cup chopped onion
1 can Mexican style tomatoes
1 can diced green chiles
1 can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
1 can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1/4 cup minced cilantro
1/4 cup low fat sour cream
Combine cumin, salt and pepper; sprinkle over chicken. Throw chicken, onion, tomatoes, chiles and beans into crockpot and cook on high for 4-6 hours or on low for 8. Check chicken to make sure it is cooked through.
Place 1 chicken thigh each in 6 bowls. Ladle 1 1/4 cups stew into each bowl. Top with 2 tsp cilantro and 2 tsp sour cream.
