Chicken Enchilada Soup

Here’s a quick soup for you folks!

Sometimes I feel like I take chicken for granted since we eat it so often.

Today I’d like to take a quick look at its benefits to appreciate the delicious nutrition of chicken.

I’m sure we all know it’s packed with protein with less fat.

It’s also a great source of Vitamin D for calcium absorption and bone health, Vitamin A for eyesight and our immune system, and iron for blood circulation.

Now we have more reasons to love and eat chicken!

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 12 corn tortillas
  • 1 10 oz can green enchilada sauce
  • 1 10 oz can red enchilada sauce
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 4 skinless, boneless cooked chicken breast
  • 1 cup thick GFCF milk
  • 1 medium tomato
  • 1 small jalapeno pepper
  • tortilla chips

Preparation:

  • Cut tortillas into strips
  • Cube chicken breast
  • Dice tomato
  • Mince jalapeno
  • Add chicken stock and tortilla strips in large pot

  • Add chicken and milk, stir
  • Ladle into bowls once everything is hot!
  • Garnish with the diced tomato and jalapeno pepper
  • Serve with tortilla chips!
