I have been working on eating healthier this year, by eating less junk food & refined carbohydrates. This recipe for Spicy Chicken, Black Bean and Sweet Onion Soup is a result of this endeavor. It is high in protein and fiber, has a wonderfully flavorful broth and is quite satisfying. You will be surprised how rich the broth is, especially considering the relatively short simmer time.
