Chicken Fajita Soup – Mom’s Homemade Recipe

As you may have read, we’ve been sick here with a nasty head cold that we’re just now getting over.

A few nights ago, I made my homemade chicken soup.  Then last night, I made chicken fajita soup to change things up a bit.

Ingredients for Chicken Fajita Soup

• 

  Chicken Fajita Soup

  Water

• Chicken – cut into chunks
• Mrs. Dash Fiesta Lime Seasoning
• 1 bag frozen stir fry veggies (peppers and onions)
• Instant brown rice
• Salt, Black Pepper, and Garlic powder

If you’ve ever read one of my recipes before, you’ll know I’m pretty wild when it comes to cooking.  I never give measurements.  It’s an adventure in the kitchen.

Directions for Chicken Fajita Soup

1. Put water and seasonings into a large pot and boil.
2. Once the water is boiling, throw the chicken, stir fry veggies and a little rice to add some bulk into the pot.
3. Boil until it’s done and serve.

Next time, I’m going to try adding black beans and a can of diced tomatoes to see how that turns out.  I’ll bet it will be much more flavorful.

It tasted a bit watery, but it hit the spot and the hubby and kids loved it.  It’s one of the few soups I’ve made that our youngest child didn’t fight me on, which was nice.   I think perhaps adding some cheese on top, if you’re not allergic to dairy, would be nice, or perhaps a bit of butter.

You can also boil it down until it’s more like a casserole and less like a soup, but you basically destroy the nutrients if you do that, so I don’t recommend it.

Question:  Have you tried this recipe?  If so, what changes would you make to it to make the flavor more robust?
