Why I LOVE this Healthy Hearty Tortilla Chicken Soup Recipe

• 100x Better than Tortilla Soup in a restaurant: Much More chicken (most restaurants don’t use enough chicken and it’s usually not all white meat either)
• Made with entirely white meat chicken, clean, organic
• You are making it.  Being a slight (okay, total) germaphobe, you know how clean your kitchen is and if you washed your hands 🙂
• You can use frozen chicken – so it’s good if you don’t know what to make but you have chicken and no time to defrost it
• You can make it in the crock pot
• So comforting on a chilly night
• Your house smells so yummy when you come home
• It’s perfect for busy days when you think you’ll be too tired to cook dinner
• Easily adjust how spicy you want it
• Versatile: Enjoy as a hearty healthy soup or make soft tacos with the moist chicken

Ingredients:

• 2-3 boneless skinless chicken breasts (frozen okay too)
• 1 (15 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes, mashed
• 1 small or med jar salsa
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chile peppers optional or diced chili pepper
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• water
• 1 (14.5 ounce) can low sodium chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 (10 ounce) package frozen corn or canned drained
• chopped organic cilantro
• organic avocado
• Grated cheddar cheese
• Handful tortilla chips to crumble on top
• Protein rich Greek Yogurt (instead of empty calories fattening sour cream)

Directions:

Spray crock pot with non stick spray for easy clean up.  Put in chicken, pour salsa on top.  Add onion, garlic, all spices, bay leaf and corn.  Pour in chicken broth.  Add drinking water to cover the chicken.  Stir. Cover and cook 4-5 hours on high or 7-8 on low.  Top with diced avocado, a dollap of Greek Yogurt, handful of fresh organic cilantro and crushed tortilla chips.  So simple, healthy and delicious.  Aloha!
