NORTHERN BEAN SOUP

Ingredients:
¼ cup butter
2 Tablespoon fresh cilantro
1 large onion 
1 Tablespoon dried basil
1 clove of garlic
1-3 Tablespoon chili powder depending on how hot you want it.
2 breasts of diced chicken
3 cups of chicken broth
2 cans of great northern beans (Undrained) (Or try cooking your own raw beans, just follow the directions on the back of the bag.)
4 tomatoes
1 pint of whipping cream  (optional or can add 1/2 pint of whipping cream

Directions
Pre-cook chicken cut into bit sized pieces. Melt butter in sauce pan with the onion and the garlic then add to the chicken. Put all remaining ingredients together except tomato. Heat to boil, then reduce to low, cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Stir occasionally.

Tomato is to be added to each individual bowl of soup. You can also break up the cilantro and add to the individual bowls of soup as well. I also like to add avacados.
