1 tsp tabasco sauce
1/4 cup fresh cilantro -- chopped
Recipe Preparation
Pick over and rinse the beans. Put them into a large bowl and cover
completely with cold water. Let the beans soak overnight (or for at
least 8 hours).
Drain the beans and transfer them to a medium saucepan. Add the 2 cups
water and the bay leaf. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook for
15 minutes. Reduce the heat to lowand simmer, uncovered, for about
20 minutes, until the beans are tender. Drain the beans and
discard the bay leaf.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Place a heavy stockpot over medium heat for about 1 minute, then
spray it twice with the vegetable oil. Add the broccoli stems,
carrot, celery, and onion. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and cook
for 5 minutes, stirring once or twice. Stir in the thyme, basil, and
wine. Simmer, uncovered, for about 15 minutes, until the wine has
been reduced by half.
In the meantime, coat the chicken thoroughly with the barbecue sauce
and bake for 10 minutes on the top shelf of the oven. Remove the
chicken from the oven and allow it to cool just long enough to
handle. Cut the chicken into small cubes.
Add the chicken, chicken stock, and beans to the stockpot. Cook over
low heat for about 3 minutes, until thoroughly heated. Stir in the
evaporated milk and the broccoli florets. Cook for 5 minutes,
stirring if needed to keep the soup from coming to a boil. Add the
dissolved cornstarch and cook for 2 minutes more, stirring
constantly. Stir in the liquid smoke, Worcestershire sauce, and
Tabasco sauce.
Garnish with chopped cilantro.

Food Tips of the Week
Dieting made easyOne useful tip is to drink plenty of water. From time to time at some stage in a hectic morning, you guess that you want a snack but in fact you might just need a refreshing glass of water or orange squash. The feelings of needing food and needing a drink are quite similar, but one of the two can lead to a broken diet and the other is ok.
The case against reduced carb diets
Its popular as hell, but it is truly safe for you?
Many scientific studies over the years have shown that exessive consumption of animal fat can result in greater risk of cancer, heart disease and other serious illnesses.
Eliminating carbohydrates might mean missing out on needed nutrients from 'good' carbohydrate foods which should be part of any well adjusted diet, specifically those that we get from vegetables, fruits and whole grains.
Foods containing allyl sulfides
( includes garlic, onions and spring onions)
The alliaceae family of foods is rich in allyl sulfides, a chemical which experts believe could be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer.
Although there is very little real proof published, allyl sulphides are also thought to aid in blood circulation, arteriosclerosis and fatigue.
Foods containing allyl sulfides are also good for weight loss, so should be included in your weight loss regime.
