This is really good! I made enough for an army so scale down as needed (mine filled four medium tuperware containers, so could probably serve approx 8 hungry low iodine dieters)
What you need:
For chicken stock:
2 TBLSP olive oil
1 medicum onion, chopped
3ish chicken breasts
3 quarts boiling water
Sea salt to taste (approx 6 big pinches)
3 salt/sodium-free Chicken Bouillon cubes (this miraculously exists. Also comes as powder, which is what I used)
1 lb bag of beans (I bought a bag that was mixed 14 different kinds of beans)
A bag of those big fat noodles, whole wheat
Half bag shredded carrots
Whatever else your creative heart desires (I think celery would have been good)
What to do:
Rinse and soak beans overnight.
Cut chiekn into bit sized pieces.
Heat oil in a large pot. Add chopped onion. Sautee for about 4 minutes. Take it out and set onion aside.
Add chicken to the hot pot. May need to add a little more olive oil. Sautee chicken until it's just cooked.
Add the onion back to the pot.
Reduce the heat, cover, and cook for 18 mins.
Crank up heat and add your boiling water (already boiling). Add salt and Chicken Bouillon cubes/powder. Stir.
Add beans
Turn heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 mins. Add veggies and simmer for another 10 minutes (until beans are almost soft enough to eat). Add noodles and cook for about 6 minutes (until noodles are soft).
That's it!
Disclaimer- after it's in the fridge, it sort of turns into a soup-flavored pasta dish. It's also good, but if you want more broth, it might be a good idea to put some broth in a separate container after it's done so that beans don't soak it all up.
