This sounds SO GOOD! Is it from a can or homemade (gotta recipe?) :embaressed_smile:

Bloo,

Here is the recipe for the chicken-white bean-green chili Soup.< /p>

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 of a chopped onion

2 minced garlic cloves

2 cups shredded chicken (I use rotisserie chicken but canned can be used)

1 small can green chilies - use 2 cans if you more heat in your soup

1 can white Beans, drained and rinsed

1 quart of low sodium chicken stock or broth

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon ground coriander

5 oz can of evaporated milk (not sweetened condensed milk)**

salt and pepper

-saute onion with olive oil in a large pot

-add remaining items except salt, pepper and evaporated milk

-bring to boil then reduce heat to a simmer, stirring occasionally for 20 minutes

-add evaporated milk. simmer for 5 more minutes

-add salt and pepper to taste

-you can serve soup with a little shredded cheese on top for garnish

**I use evaporated milk to add a creamy texture to the soup without adding tons of fat and calories...you can use heavy cream if desired...you can also omit the milk all together if you don't like creamy Soups.< /p>

I freeze leftovers in individual serving sized containers and pull one out of the freezer when I don't feel like cooking.

THANK YOU!! I plan on making this tomorrow :cursing:

I have to ask, are you all full with what you eat. I have 2 cc's in my 4 cc band and I fill up but I need to eat more then what I see everyone here eating. Protein Drinks don't even fill me up. what am i doing wrong. I can eat an egg for breakfast and be full but then 1 hour later I need a special k bar or granola. If i eat two eggs I throw up. I need some food guidence, any suggestions??

Sounds like your food is moving too quickly through your band and perhaps you could use a small fill ...
