This is my response to craving mexican food but not being able to have the calories. This soup is very filling and low points- 6 1/2 for the whole recipe. You can control the heat of this recipe by the type of salsa you add- I usually use mild. Whatever heat you choose, it should be fresh salsa so the cilantro and other flavours are strong enough. If you really like it hot, add some chillies! I like to chop the ingredients fairly small for this recipe so you get an even flavour balance in every bite. Ingredients:
2 skinless chicken breasts, finely diced |
1 onion, finely diced |
1 red onion, finely diced |
3 garlic cloves, crushed |
1 green bell pepper, finely diced |
4 cups chicken stock |
1 1/2 cups fresh salsa (you choose the heat) |
1 chicken stock cube |
1/2 teaspoon cayenne |
1/4 teaspoon cumin |
1 cup corn, i use frozen |
Directions:
1. Saute the chicken breasts for 3 minutes in a skillet with some non-fat cooking spray if needed.
2. Add the onions, garlic and bell pepper and saute for 5 minutes.
3. Transfer to a large saucepan and add the chicken stock, salsa, chicken stock cube, cayenne, cumin and corn.
4. Simmer over a low heat for 30 minutes.
5. Serve hot and enjoy!
