Chicken Black bean Soup

This is a new creation I started making. We love all soups in my household so I always try to create some new, exciting recipes. This soup is such a great combination and it will fill you up. The flavours from all the spices, the beans, the chicken and all the vegetables will give you the ultimate fulfilling feeling. You just can’t have enough!
