Re: Southwestern Chicken Taco Stew LOW CARB

@Gokat  Thank you for posting this and the other two I found this morning.  I admit I had to Google "black soy beans."  I've never heard of them, but will definitely look for them on my next grocery trip.  

Strive for respect instead of attention. It lasts longer.

The black soy beans can be found in the natural foods section of your grocery store, @IamMrsG .  The ones I get are Eden.  You could use black beans as well with DH's carb allowance.  1 Net Carb for the soy vs. 16 Net Carbs for the Black Beans. HTH'sWoman Happy
