There is something about fall that screams COMFORT FOOD! Back when I was 215 pounds, comfort food was creamy soups and macaroni and cheese. I have changed my ways over the last three years and have found some really healthy ways to satisfy that comfort food craving!
Ingredients
-
1 rotisserie chicken OR 2 chicken breasts (cooked and shredded) *I used an organic rotisserie chicken and made sure there were no added ingredients and discarded the skin
-
1 can of black beans, rinsed and drained
-
1 can of corn, no added salt
-
1 can of fire roasted tomatoes, do not drain the liquid
-
1 yellow pepper, diced
-
1 white onion, diced
-
1 32 ounce container of chicken broth, low sodium
-
1 tsp cumin
-
1 tsp chili powder
-
1 tsp garlic salt (I may have added a tiny bit more – oops!)
-
Organic tortilla chips *I use blue corn chips
Optional toppings
-
Non-Fat greek yogurt
-
Cheese
-
Avocado
Directions
-
Take all of the meat off of the rotisserie chicken and discard the skin
-
Place all ingredients in a crockpot on high for 4-6 hours or low for 8 hours. I personally added my chicken in halfway through since it was already cooked, but you would be fie adding it in at the beginning!
-
Serve with tortilla chips, greek yogurt in place of sour cream and diced avocados.
This soup counts approximately as 1 red and 1 green. I counted my serving as about 1.5 cups and this easily makes 6 servings. These measurements are not 100% exact. If you top with tortilla chips, that adds 1 yellow to the count.
This soup is so delicious and is great for leftovers. This would make an amazing quick weeknight meal for a family or also a week of lunches!
Enjoy!
