Black Bean & Chicken Soup

I made some soup this weekend and it's delicious! Not sure where I got the base recipe for this, but I've added a few things from the original. Here's my version:

Easy Black Bean & Chicken Soup

• 2 cans black beans (juice and all) 
• 1 c. chicken (I used some leftover rotisserie chicken both white and dark meat) 
• 1/2 c. chopped onion 
• 1 c. salsa 
• 3 c. chicken broth 
• 1-2 t. minced garlic (use fresh if you have it, I used the jars stuff)
• salt and pepper to taste 

Add it all to the slow cooker and let it simmer for several hours. You could also puree this a little bit with a hand blender if you want a thicker consistency (a great option for newbie WLS patients). 

Enjoy!
