I made this for lunch today and it was absolutely delicious! I chose to omit the three optional ingredients, but I'm sure it would be just as good (maybe better) if added.
CHICKEN FAJITA SOUP - (FP)
This simple, flavorful soup lends itself perfectly to the crockpot or electric pressure cooker. This is level 1 cooking—you can’t mess this up, so go ahead and wow your family! You have the option of making this more of a cream-based soup by adding in cream cheese, which makes it an S . . . your choice. It is great either way, so change things up!
Serves: 6
Ingredients
*2.5 lbs chicken breast (s) (boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs (use breasts for FP and E), thawed if frozen)
*64 oz chicken broth (2 quarts chicken broth (with an optional 4 tablespoons Just Gelatin or Integral Collagen)
*10 oz Rotel tomatoes & chilies (1 10 to 12 oz. ounce) can Ro-tel-style diced tomatoes and green chilies)
*14.5 oz fire roasted tomatoes (1 14.5oz. can diced, fire-roasted tomatoes)
*10 oz frozen small-cut seasoning blend (1 10 to 12-oz.) bag frozen small-cut seasoning blend
*1 tsp mineral salt
*1 tsp black pepper
*1 tsp onion powder
*1 tsp garlic powder (or 4 to 6 garlic cloves, minced)
*1 tsp chili powder
* optional: 3/4 tsp chipotle chili powder (lfor an extra-awesome kick)
*optional: 8 oz 1/3 less fat cream cheese
* optional: lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions
*Put all the ingredients (except the cream cheese and lime wedges) in a crockpot. Cover and cook on high for 6 hours.
*If using the cream cheese, remove 1 cup of the hot broth and place it in a blender with the cream cheese. Blend until smooth, then stir into the crockpot.
*Remove the chicken and shred on a plate with 2 forks. Return to the pot, stir well to combine, and serve with a squirt of lime (if using).
MAKE A FAMILY MEAL:
*For the weight-loss plan, enjoy as is in a bowl for an FP or have the FP version with sprouted-grain toast or baked corn chips on the side and a garnish-size amount of cheese for an E.
*Want to have it as an S? Include the cream cheese. Or else leave it out and top with options of grated cheese, diced avocado, or perhaps a dollop of sour cream. Try one of the S-friendly bread sides with butter.
*Growing children can enjoy this with cheese and baked corn chips or another healthy carb such as buttered sprouted-grain bread for a Crossover.
Until next time...

This sounds so good! I'm guessing the part that says 10 oz frozen small cut seasoning blend (and then cuts off?) means a vegetable blend? Maybe peppers and onions as that would be very fajita-like? Love soups in the winter. :) Thanks for sharing my Friend. xo
ReplyDeleteHey, Carrie! Yes...onions, peppers, etc. That's what it's called is 'seasoning blend' and it's in the frozen veggie section. Thanks for commenting!
DeleteCarrie, I added a photo of the seasoning blend in the post above.
