Why We Love This Chicken Fajita Soup Recipe
I just can’t get enough soup recipes this time of year, and neither can my family. If I made it for them, they would eat it every day. We especially love chicken soups with bold flavors and spices! Today’s Skinny Chicken Fajita Soup Recipe is a meal you can enjoy all through the winter months, even when you are watching your diet… It offers the same comforting Mexican appeal of classic chicken fajitas, with a unique taste and texture, minus the heavy tortillas. This healthy chicken soup is low-fat and gluten-free. Its only carbs are high-fiber black beans and brown rice. However, if you want to make a low carb option, just take out the rice. Load your bowl of Chicken Fajita Soup with your favorite taco toppings like shredded cheese, sliced scallions and cilantro, and a dollop of sour cream!
