Black Bean Soup

1. Cook chicken in oven or on grill. Season as you like. If you bake it, bake at 375F for 20-25 minutes or more depending on the size of the chicken pieces. Then remove from oven, cube chicken and set aside.
2. Heat oil in stock pan or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add celery, carrot, garlic, onion, scallion, green pepper and chicken flavor boost. Saute till vegetables are tender.
3. Add chicken.
4. Add water or broth and heat until it boils, then add all of the other ingredients.
5. Cover and cook till rice is cooked (use the timing on the rice package as a reference).
6. Reseason to taste.

Note: If you like a thicker soup, I used cornstarch mixed with some juice from pan, mixed it together, then returned it to pot and continued heating until thickened.
