Directions

1

Fill pot with water.
2

Add onions, garlic, chicken base, and frozen chicken.
3

Bring to a boil and cook 5 minutes, until chicken tenders are cooked thru.
4

Remove tenders from pot and chop into smallish, bite sized pieces.
5

Put them back in the broth, and add everything else except the beans, catsup, and the salt & pepper.
6

Allow the pot to return to a boil, stirring occasionally. Turn down heat and simmer 15-20 minutes, until all the veggies are cooked thru.

Add the canned beans, partially drained (you want some of that liquid to thicken everything a tiny bit), and stir.

Taste test and add salt & pepper as needed.
