Chicken Soup with Adzuki Beans, Escarole, and Sweet Potato

“This absolutely delicious soup was created to help use up the Adzuki beans, wild rice, and sweet potatoes in my pantry. I decided to use the sweet potato instead of regular potatoes, and was delightfully surprised by the wonderful flavor blend it created with the sweetness of the onions, garlic, and Adzuki beans. I also wanted to try escarole in a soup, and the result was fantastic. Adzuki beans are found in any health food or specialty store, and in many national grocery chains. They have a great nutty, slightly sweet taste, and are especially tasty added to chicken soups of any kind.”

I was skeptical when I didn't like the smell or the look of it cooking but wanted to try my adzuki beans. Wonderful combination, rich and hearty. I put the onions in but they got too mushy so I removed them before serving.

I was really unimpressed by this recipe. It was perfectly ok, but nothing special. Granted I couldn't find the adzuki beans at my market, so maybe that's the secret ingredient....but I found the soup pretty bland all-in-all.

Very tasty. The sweet potato tastes great with the squash and chicken. I don't like escarole so used a bag of fresh spinach instead. Didn't add beans either and it was still yummy. Also, I used bone-in thighs (more flavor) and boiled for just half an hour, then cut it up and added when suggested.

This was a great healthy recipe! My 9 yr. old even enjoyed it. I changed these ingredients: 6 Chix, 1 onion only, 2 pressed cloves of garlic, omit sage & rosemary & escarole. Added a Garden Veg. spice about 1 tbsp. We will eat this again. Thx for the recipe- I was wondering what to do with my Adzuki beans!

this soup is very good! you can add whatever vegetables you want... aduki or adzuki beans are fantastic, a delicious way of adding more fibre to your diet, and they go so well with the sweet potato flavour! *warning* if you are not used to eating too much fibre, the adzuki beans may sneak up on you ...

I made this recipe without the "escarole", because I could not get it where I live, however, the soup was absolutely fabulous without it. My family loved it, even my 4 and 6 year old children gobbled it up. My husband commented that the next time I make it, he would like more meat in it. I used 5 thighs instead of 4 to make make up for the Escarole and he still wanted more meat. None of this soup was thrown out. We ate all of it over 3 days. It's a keeper.
