Low Calorie Chicken Tortilla Soup

Kimberley K. Eggleston
By using canned tomatoes and broth, this soup literally comes together in about 20 minutes. It is a very quick, easy recipe for a last-minute supper or lunch.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 lb. chicken breast tenders, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion (1/2 of one medium)
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 14 oz. can chicken broth
  • 1 15 oz. can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 15. oz. can mexican style stewed tomatoes, undrained
  • Garnish:
  • 2 oz. shredded, part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • 2 oz. crushed, baked tortilla chips
  • Diced cilantro

Preparation:

1. Heat a large, high-sided pan, coated with cooking spray, over medium-high heat and add the garlic. Cook for one minute. Then add the chicken, onion, and cumin, and cook an additional 4-5 minutes, or until onions are soft and chicken is no longer pink.

2. Pour in the water, chicken broth, diced tomatoes, and stewed tomatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.

3. Ladle the soup into individual serving bowls, then top evenly with the cheese, chips, and cilantro.
