The pasta e fagiole soup is yummy! I've made it before and loved it, especially at this chilly time of year. I find the beans make it really filling too.

I gotta try the fiesta chicken though, and I'll let you know how it goes :)

I was a little leary on the fiesta chicken because of the refried beans, just seemed an odd thing to have. I tried it last night and I thought it was pretty good. I hope you like it as well :)
