Buffalo Bean Soup
Serves
3.5 quarts

On cold days at work, when the heat just can't seem to warm up our area, I look forward to having my Buffalo Bean Soup for lunch. It's very hearty, and has a warm hint of hot sauce for depth (more if you like a kick in the butt!). I have no idea where in my brain this came from, but it is an experiment-turned-tradition to which I am completely addicted.
Yields:
3.5 quarts, or 7 2-cup servings
Each serving: 330 calories, 31g fiber, $1.15

Freezes well.


Ingredients

  • 1 pound bag of dry 15 or 16 Bean Soup mix, rinsed and drained (toss out the ham flavor packet)
  • 2 cans of diced tomatoes, or about 4 chopped fresh tomatoes, with juices
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 1 pound chicken breast or tenderloins
  • 6 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1/4 cup or more hot sauce (I prefer Franks Buffalo Wing Sauce for the mild buttery flavor)
