Kickin Chicken Tortilla Soup



This was so delicious!!!


3 cups fat free chicken broth

4 ounces cooked lean skinless boneless breasts, shredded (I cooked the day before the chicken in a crock pot on low heat for 5 hours with enough chicken broth to cover and the chicken just fell apart)

1 cup canned diced tomatoes, undrained

1/2 cup canned sweet corn (I used frozen thawed corn)

1/2 cup chopped onions

1TBSP chopped jalapeno peppers ( I did not use but thinks it could use a little to spice it up a bit, if you don't like hot though I would not use it or only do half the amount it calls for)

1 TBSP lime juice

1TBSP fajita seasoning mix

1 tsp minced garlic

1/4 tsp ground cumin

1/4 tsp chili powder

6 baked tortilla chips, crushed

Optional toppings: cilantro, fat-free sour cream, fat free or low fat shredded cheese ( I used fat-free sour cream and fat-free shredded cheddar cheese...recommend using) :)


In a medium pot spray with non stick spray, cook onions, garlic, seasoning, and spices over medium heat until soften, 3-5 minutes.

Add chicken broth and bring to a boil. Then reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.

Add the corn and diced tomatoes, and contine to cook for 5 minutes.

Add chicken, jalepeno, and lime juice. Stir for 2-3 minutes to thoroughly blend flavors.

Once ready to serve, top each serving with crushed chips and if desored the optional toppings.


Makes 4 servings.
