Notes
1. Beans - You can use red kidney beans instead of black beans, or 1/2 cup of dried beans.2. Tomato passata is pureed plain tomatoes that is the consistency of a thick, smooth liquid, not like a paste or sauce. In Australia it is found in the pasta section of supermarkets and costs around the same as canned tomatoes.3. Stove - simmer on stove for 40 min on medium low, remove chicken and shred. Simmer soup for further 20 minutes, then return shredded chicken into pot then serve.4. Storage - cooked soup will keep in the fridge for 5 days. Or freeze for up to 3 months - it freezes perfect (soup only, not toppings).5. Nutrition per serving (800g/3 cups), excluding toppings (because I cannot be held responsible for how much you load it up!)
