Try my Balanced Beauty Taco Tuesday Soup Recipe… This recipe is filled with mouthwatering, flavorful spices but is low cal, metabolism boosting and totally delish!
The best part ( to keep it real here)— All you do is take the ingredients and dump them together in a pot… That’s it. #ChefOfTheYear… You got this one!
INGREDIENTS:
- 1/2 Onion, finely chopped
- 1 tsp. chili powder
- 1 tsp. cumin
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- 1 can (19 oz) red enchilada sauce
- 1 jar mild salsa
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can (15 oz) corn, drained
- 2 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into thirds
- 1 pack mushrooms
- 2 1/2 c. chicken broth
- 1/2 c. shredded mex cheese- part skim, plus more for serving
- 1/4 c. heavy cream
- Chopped cilantro, for serving
- Sliced lime, for serving
- Crushed corn tortilla chips, for serving (optional)*
- Sour cream- part skim, for serving (optional)*
- Rice (optional)*
- Avocado (optional)*
Note: This recipe uses a crock pot for slow cooking (which really gets all the flavor into the chicken and mushrooms) but you can also throw ingredients into a regular pot and get the same great flavor/final dish.
DIRECTIONS:
- Combine onion, spices, enchilada sauce, mushrooms, tomatoes, beans, corn, chicken and broth in the
bowl of your Crock-Pot. Stir together to combine all ingredients. Set on high and cook for 3 hours, or until chicken is tender. - Remove chicken from Crock-Pot and shred.
- Serve into bowls and top with cheese, sour cream, cilantro, chips, avocado and a slice of lime if desired. All toppings are optional!
- Another great way to stay fuller for longer, avoid the tortilla chips, or serve as a great post-workout recovery meal is to serve over rice*
* Balanced Beauty Tip: For a vegetarian version- Use 2 packs of MUSHROOMS, instead of chicken. Also, use QUINOA instead of rice to add more protein!
