Mexican Chicken Soup

Mexican chicken soup. This freezer meal is one of my favourites. It takes a touch more work (like roasting the tomatoes) yet it’s full of flavour and packs some heat – it’s perfect for those cold winter nights.
Let’s get cooking!

Ingredients

  • 400 g of chicken breast
  • 200 g of roma tomatoes
  • red onion
  • large pepper
  • 1 tablespoon of garlic
  • 3 teaspoons of tex-mex seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon of cumin oregeno, chili powder and paprika
  • 2 cups of vegetable broth
  • Finishing:
  • 4 oz of cream cheese
  • handful of cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup of cream
  • sour cream
  • avocado
  • tortilla chips

Instructions

  • First, roast your tomatoes. I did mine on the stove and just roasted them whole.
  • Then, in a large freezer bag, add the tomatoes (once cooled), chopped red onion and pepper and all the seasonings. Top with the chicken.
  • I like to write the directions on the bag - they are as follows: Add 2 cups of broth and cook on low for 6 hours in the slow cooker. During the last 30 minutes, add in 4oz of cream cheese, a handful of shredded cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup of cream. Pull chicken and mix well.
  • Cook according to the directions.
  • Top with crushed tortilla chips, avocado, cheddar cheese, sour cream or your other favourite toppings.
