    Serves 6

Ingredients

2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter
1 cup chopped onion
1 green bell pepper, chopped

1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
3 cups canned chicken broth, heated

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Melt butter in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper and garlic and sauté until just soft, about 8 minutes.
