Soup season is among us! And I’ve got so many delicious recipes to share with you. Kickin’ this series off with one of my all time favorite soup to make- spicy taco soup! It’s not really that spicy, Bexley eats it (she’s 7), but if you need to tone it down, just skip the cayenne! Here’s what you need for about 6 portions ✨ 16 oz. chicken breasts 3 tbsp olive oil 1 medium onion 3 garlic cloves 28 oz. can fire-roasted diced tomatoes (and their juices) 12 oz. can sweet corn 12 oz. can black beans 4 oz. can green chilies 2 cups chicken broth (I use Kettle & Fire) 1/3 cup cream cheese (about 5 oz.) Spices 1 tbsp chili powder 2 tsp cumin 1 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp smoked paprika 1/4 tsp cayenne salt (big pinch) pepper (big pinch) Toppings (for each portion) 1 tbsp mexican cheese 1/4 avocado 2 tbsp tortilla strips fresh cilantro What you’ll do ⬇️ - Heat a pot over medium high heat. Add 1 tbsp of olive oil. Salt and pepper chicken breasts, then sear on each side for 5-6 minutes. Remove (it’s okay if they aren’t fully cooked, you’re going to simmer at the end), add to blender, blend to shred. Set aside. - In the same pan, add 2 tbsp of olive oil and chopped onions, saute for 4-5 minutes, scrapping the chicken bits from the pan. Add garlic, saute for 30 seconds, then add spices (except for salt and pepper). Toast spices for 30 seconds. Add tomatoes, chilis, beans, corn and broth. Mix well. - Bring to boil, then simmer for 5-8 minutes uncovered. Add chicken, and cream cheese. Add a big pinch of salt and pepper and simmer another 5-8 minutes. - Add about 1.5 cups to a bowl (or more if you need more), top with mexican cheese, tortilla strips, 1/4 avocado, and fresh cilantro. Enjoy! (~501 calories per portion, including toppings) Will you try this?! ____ Ready to lose your first few pounds eating the foods you love?
