                      Happily serves 6-8

                      ALL ORGANIC INGREDIENTS 

                      2 Poblano peppers 

                      4 Cups Bone Broth

                      2 Cups tomatillos (outer husk removed)

                      2 Green onion stalks

                      1-2 Jalapeños

                      2 TBSP Avocado oil 

                      4 Garlic Cloves

                      1⁄2 Yellow Onion

                      2 Cups White or butter beans (rinsed + drained)

                      Himalayan Sea salt 

                      Black pepper, to taste

                      Handful Cilantro 

                      Optional:

                      Coconut Cheese

                      1 Cup Salsa

                      Hatch Green chili

                      TOPPING INGREDIENTS

                      Lime juice

                      Cubed Avocado

                      Cucumber Salsa 

                      Rinse and drain beans good if you are using canned beans.

                      Put whole poblano peppers, tomatillos, and jalapeños on baking stone, broil on high about 5-7 minutes.

                      The tomatillos will likely take longer, so remove peppers if it’s cooking uneven. Turn peppers half way through.

                      Add oil, garlic, and onion to a cast iron skillet.

                      Sauté, stirring frequently, until soft, translucent and slightly browned, about 4 minutes. 

                      Remove peppers and tomatillos from oven. Cover for 3 minutes to steam and soften so you remove skin, core, and seeds from poblano and jalapeños and any stems from the tomatillos. (Personally I leave the seeds and skins on, this keeps it a “whole” food.)

                      Add peppers to a vitamix with the garlic and onion. 

                      Purée until semi-fine consistency, a little chunky is ok.

                      Add mixture back to pot over medium heat. 

                      Add Bone broth, beans, and stir.

                      Bring to a simmer, then cover, reduce heat to low and continuing simmering about 15 minutes.
