  4. Garnish individual servings with cilantro, if desired.
Notes
  1. *Mexican oregano is less sweet than regular oregano; it is available at penzeys.com. Regular oregano may be substituted for Mexican oregano, if desired.
  2. • Smoky Chicken and Bean Soup can be made a day in advance and refrigerated in a covered container until needed. Warm soup in a saucepan before serving.
