CHICKEN VEGETABLE BEAN SOUP
This is adapted from my Health Vegetable Soup recipe 493112 which I got from Woman's World Magazine as a "mix-and-match" recipe. I found that I was making that recipe the same way every time and this is the result. It makes quite a bit. I usually make it every Sunday during the winter months and the family eats it at various times during the week and I freeze some. Using bone-in chicken thighs is kind of a hassle and you have to be real careful about removing bones and cartilage after they're cooked but I think it's worth it because of the flavor added from the bones. Of course, you could use boneless instead. What I love about this recipe is that you can be chopping stuff while other stuff is cooking so you don't need a lot of room for all of the ingredients during the process. I don't know about you guys, but I don't have a sous chef that prepares all of my ingredients and puts them in little glass bowls like they do on TV cooking shows.
