Personal Notes:
I started with Giada's chicken stew recipe but thought the broth was good but like soup,
so I added lots more broth and called it soup. Over time I added the Jalapeno pepper because we loved it a little spicy. This is a favorite & healthy soup. The only carbs are the beans. The broth is exceptional. The broth is clear with a little tomato color, very pretty soup.
Alan puts Parmesan cheese on top. I love garlic big croutons on top. Always good with bread.
