I substituted organic vegetarian stock w/ no sodium added for the chicken broth. Tastes good to me.
5/29/2010 04:24:09 PM Report AbuseA bit too hot for me. If you cut down the chili powder to 1 or 1.5 tablespoons, I'd give this one more star. Also, be careful to read the ingredients. Unlike me, I misread ONE "canned" chipotle pepper for ONE "CAN" of chipotle pepper. Fortunately, I stopped after 4 peppers. Unfortunately, it was too hot to eat as a meal, so we are using it more like a dip or as salsa on burritos, etc.

5/23/2010 06:18:48 PM Report AbuseI wonder if that sodium number is correct. If low sodium broth is used & the beans are rinsed, I don't think it will be nearly that high because no extra salt is even added. The sodium # on the beans includes the liquid.
