1/4 tsp. Salt or to taste
1/4 tsp. pepper or to taste

Instructions
Cook onion in microwave until soft for 40 sec. approx., or fry in medium pan or soup pot until soft. Add chicken stock in medium saucepan with onions and bring boiling. Rinse beans and add to pot. Add the rest of your ingredients, make sure there is enough water to cover ingredients.  Heat to boiling, then reduce heat to simmer. Simmer for 1 hour minimum, until beans are soft. Add water or tomato juice as required.  Taste and add more salt and pepper if needed.
You can double the recipe and freeze leftovers.  If you use leftover chicken in your soup, eat any leftovers the next day, without meat the soup is good for approx. a week in the fridge.
