I loved it and gave some to my cleaning lady, who also loved it. I can't wait for my sister to come home from Florida so she can try it. I will also share this recipe with my doctor. She and I share ideas for various recipe.

How To Make slow cooker black bean chipolte soup with chicken

Step 1

Rinse and sort beans and place in large bowl; cover completly with water.m Soak 6-8 hours overnight. (To qick soak beans, place beans in large saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a boil,over high heat, DO NOT ADD SALT. Boil 2 minutes. Remove from heat; let soak, covered, 1 hour). Drain beans, discard water. You could add 4 cans of drained black beans instead of using the dry bean.

Step 2

Place beans in slow cooker. Add celery, carrots and onion. You could add another of you favorite winter veggies (ie parsnips, rutabaga).
Step 3

Combine chipolte peppers, tomatoes, chilies, stock and cumin in a bowl, add to slow cooker. Cover; cook on LOW 7 to 8 hour or on High for 4 1/2 hours or until beans are tender. Season with pepper and salt to taste. I didn't add salt but you could use sea salt or kosher salt.
