Chicken Florentine Soup










4oz    leftover chicken breast meat
3 cl.   garlic
1 med  onion
2 lg    stalks celery + tops
1-2T  extra virgin olive oil
3/4c   seasoned couscous, rice, barley or quinoa
8oz    fresh spinach
1 can well rinsed & drained black beans







Cut chicken in small pieces and combine with sliced-chopped vegetables and olive oil.  Saute' 5 minutes then add couscous and 3 cups of water or chicken stock.  Simmer another 5 minutes.  (Rice or quinoa will take longer.)  Chop and wash the spinach in a salad spinner.  Add spinach and VERY well rinsed and drained black beans.  If they're not rinsed enough, you'll have some really odd colored purple soup.  Stir, heat a few more minutes - check and correct seasonings if necessary.  Serves 2-4. . .Lin
