White Chili

By Evan Sheline on October 2, 2010 in Recipes

Ingredients:

1 lb. dried Great Northern Beans (or, 3 cans cooked, ready to eat, Great Northern Beans)
4 cups fat-free low sodium chicken broth
2 med. yellow onions, chopped (about 4 cups)
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp. salt
1/4 cup canned, diced green chilies
2 tsp. ground cumin
1 1/2 tsp. dried oregano
1 tsp. ground coriander
1/4 tsp. ground cloves
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
8 oz. grilled chicken breasts, sliced into 1/4 inch wide strips (OR, about 2 chicken breasts, cooked in boiling water for about 15 minutes, chopped up…..OR you can use left over chicken,……OR you can buy an already roasted chicken and pull off the meat and chop it up)
3/4 grated low fat Monterey Jack cheese

Directions:

Cover beans with water and soak overnight. Drain and rinse. (or, if using canned beans, rinse beans in a colander). In a large, heavy pot, combine beans, broth, 2 cups onions garlic and salt: bring to a boil. (Note: I saute the onions and garlic for about 5 minutes in about 1 tsp. olive oil, then add the beans, broth, and salt and then bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer gently 1 1/2-2 hours, or until beans are very tender (if using the non-canned beans), adding more stock if needed. Stir in remaining onions, chilies, cumin, oregano, coriander, cloves and cayenne. Cover and cook for 30 minutes. Just before serving, add chicken; cook until heated through. Ladle chili into individual bowls; top each with 2 Tbs. cheese. Serves 6

Split Pea Soup

By Evan Sheline on October 2, 2010 in Recipes

Ingredients

1 bag, 16oz. dried split peas
8 cups hot water or 8 cups chicken broth (I use about 6 cups broth, and then after it all has cooked, I add milk or 1/2 and 1/2 for the other 2 cups and then blend with a immersion blender)
1 – 2 lbs. ham, cut into cubes (you can get this from the deli counter or just buy a piece of ham
1 cup each: chopped onion, chopped celery, chopped carrots
1 bay leaf
1 Tbs. lemon juice (optional, I do not use because I add the milk/1/2 and 1/2 and this won’t go with lemon juice)

Rinse and sort split peas. In a large pot, saute the onion in a bit of olive oil for about 5 min. Then, combine the peas, water/broth, and ham. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to simmer and cover the pot; simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the carrots and celery, bay leaf, and lemon juice and simmer for about 30 minutes more until tender or until desired tenderness is reached. Once everything is tender, take off the heat. Use either an immersion blender, right into the mix in the pan, or take out 2 cups at a time and blend in a blender. Once all is blended, add salt and pepper to taste.
