Skinny Chicken Taco Soup! – This soup is made with wholesome fresh ingredients and so easy to make! You are the only one that twill know it’s a ‘skinny’ recipe!
Eat this soup and you will be SKINNY! (well, maybe I oversold that a bit ….). But it’s a healthy super soup if there ever was one, with big flavors that come together in a snap!
I used store bought rotisserie chicken, but any left over cubed or shredded chicken will do. You can also sub ground chicken, turkey or beef and still get the same tasty results.
Who watches Gilmore Girls? I am on season three with four more to go. Thats roughly about 80 episodes left and I am already hoarding them like carbs on diet!
I am sure I was Lorelei in a previous life…all that witty repertoire. Just banging’ out all that sassy talk right at the perfect time. Ya, thats me, never say anything stupid or inappropriate….mmmmm.
Oh Stars Hallow, how I wish you were real…I’d book my ticket today. I’d bring my daughter Rachel because she is my Rory. We would have coffee at Lukes and help Sookie in the kitchen…wait… maybe I am more Sookie than Lorelei? Chubby and a good cook. Yep, definitely Sookie! Only with all the witty banter of Lorelai. It’s my dream. I can have both.
So this soup! This makes a big old pot! You will get a few dinners and a couple lunches out of it. Or do what I did and just have it for lunch all week long. Talk about easy meal prep! And it’s only about 200 calories for 1 1/4 cups including a few baked tortilla strips. Not including avocado though…insert sad face :(. God’s little joke….avocado is yummy, healthy and high in calories.

Yeah, we’re ridiculous.
