Salsa Chicken Soup Recipe

 

"You wouldn't guess that this quick-and-easy soup is low in fat," relates Becky Christman of Bridgeton, Missouri. "Since my husband loves spicy foods, I sometimes use medium or hot salsa in this recipe for extra zip."

This recipe is:
Healthy
Quick

 

 

6 Servings
Prep/Total Time: 30 min.


Ingredients
1/2 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) chicken broth
1-3/4 cups water
1 to 2 teaspoons chili powder
1 cup frozen corn
1 cup salsa
Shredded Monterey Jack cheese or pepper Jack cheese, optional

In a large saucepan, combine chicken, broth, water and chili powder. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Add corn; return to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink and corn is tender. Add salsa and heat through. Garnish with cheese if desired. Yield: 6 servings.
