Instructions
If you're using uncooked pinto beans and white beans, pressure cook these separately with 2 cups of water and seasoned with salt and pepper. Once cooked through, set aside till ready to boil your soup.
In a soup pot, throw everything into the same (except for the lemon juice and cilantro) and bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat and allow the chicken and rice to cook on a slow heat, with the soup simmering to allow the flavors to marry well.
Once the chicken and rice are cooked, add the cilantro and take the pot off the stove.
Add the lemon juice and stir before serving ladles full of this hearty, healthy soup.
