Boil 2-3 chicken breasts in salted water for 30 minutes with ½ onion (don’t chop onion) and 2 cloves (some people say toe) of fresh, crushed garlic. Dice cooked chicken breasts: makes about 2 c chicken

In large pot combine the following: chicken, 2 15.5 oz can of S&W Caribbean black beans, 2 15.5 oz. cans black beans, 1 10 oz can Ro-Tel Mexican festival diced tomatoes with lime juice and cilantro, 1 10 oz can Ro-Tel Original festival diced tomatoes (there is hot or mild...you decide), 1 large can of diced tomatoes, 1 16 oz. can of chicken broth (or 16 oz of the water off the chicken breasts you just cooked).

Cook together for about 20 minutes until heated thoroughly. Season to taste. Top with fresh cilantro, shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese, tortilla slices or chips, diced avocado. Or like Heather, you can use the soup as a dip and scoop it out with fritos or doritos. Makes: a lot!
