Project Description

When the weather starts to change or it is just a rainy day soup is alway on my mind.  I love the feeling of throwing together a pot full of goodness and the aroma that feels the house as it simmers on the stove.   Chicken fajita tortilla soup is a delicious low fat soup.  It is topped with sour cream, avocado,  shredded cheese and tortilla chips so you get a nice rounded flavor and texture combo going.  If I have leftover roast chicken or grilled chicken breast I will shred them up, bag them and throw them in the freezer for when I want to make this soup!

There is so much flavor in here that it won’t disappoint!  This is great as leftovers too, the flavors are enhanced as the days pass.  This is a great soup to make in advance if you are looking for a pre-cooked meal on a busy day.

Notes

Grilled option

  • If you are not using leftover chicken I recommend try grilling your chicken and then dicing it up and adding to soup. This adds another layer of flavor with the grill.
