Notes
- Store green chile chicken soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 days, or freeze for 3 months. Let it cool fully to room temp before storing.
- Pan: Make this soup in a heavy bottomed pan or Dutch oven. It will distribute the heat more evenly and the bottom is less likely to scorch.
- Beans: Drain and rinse your beans well before adding them to the pot. This will help to get rid of extra salt or any metallic taste.
- Storage: Store green chile chicken soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 days, or freeze for 3 months. Let it cool fully to room temp before storing.
