Why You’ll Love This Soup
The soup is really rich and creamy and the chicken, corn, black beans, and salsa are all 0 smart points. Since fajitas usually come with peppers and onions you could always cook some off on the stove top and add it to the top of the soup with some chips, cheese, or reduced fat sour cream. This soup is definitely a keeper and it almost reminds me of Chicken Tortilla soup.
Ingredients Needed for Chicken Fajita Soup
