Our De Spice Cito spice blend is everything in this easy peasy weeknight meal. The toppings are a must. Make this when you have a left over rotisserie chicken or any chicken leftovers. It will save the step of simmering chicken in the broth for hours. Use a high quality, low sodium chicken stock for a nice rich broth. It's really hard to go wrong here!

Ingredient Graphic
  • 1 lb. rotisserie chicken meat, shredded
  • 1 cup salsa verde
  • 4 small Mexican onions or 1/2 yellow onion
  • 1 tbsp Healthy On You ® De Spice Cito Adobo Spice Blend
  • 8 cups chicken broth, separated
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen corn
  • 1 cup cilantro
  • 1 15 oz can Pinto beans drained and rinsed
  • 2 fresh tortillas, torn

Garnishes

  • 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 2 avocados, diced
  • 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 cup green onions for garnish
  • Sour cream
  • tortilla chips
  • lime wedges

Directions

  1. Heat a dutch oven or soup pot over medium high heat and add 6 cups of the chicken stock. Bring to a boil.
  2. Add the corn, pinto beans, reduce the heat to simmer, cover and cook for 10 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, in a high powered blender, add the salsa verde, Mexican or yellow onions, torn tortillas, De Spice Cito Spice Blend and the remaining 2 cups of chicken broth. Process for 20 seconds until the tortillas are broken down and the liquid is a thick purée.
  4. Gently pour the purée into the pot with the stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat so the mixture bubbles gently; add the 2 cups of cilantro and cook for 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in the shredded chicken, taste and add more salt if necessary.
  5. Divide the garnishes among 4 to 6 bowls. Ladle the soup into the bowls and top with the tortilla chips. Serve immediately with lime wedges.

Tuscan White Bean Tomato and Farro Soup

let the good thymes roll

So I was having guests over for dinner last night and want to keep it simple. A good hearty bowl of soup, a salad, and a blackberry crumble. Nothing too crazy, right? After searching through my pantry and refrigerator, I discovered I had all the ingredients for a Tuscan White Bean Soup. I like this version using fresh Tuscan kale from my garden and healthy nutritious farro. Farro is an ancient grain that is high in fiber, protein and rich in B vitamins.
