The bold and vibrant flavors in this Southwestern Chicken soup blend perfectly together to make this comforting soup a filling meal.
I decided to take a break from Thanksgiving food today and share one of my favorite soup recipes. It’s that time of year when we are busier than usual and I thought you might just be looking for a slow cooked soup recipe to help get you through the holidays.
There is something about a pot of soup that fills up your home with scents of deliciousness while it cooks all day. If you are like me, you might be thinking about dinner maybe a little more than you should while you enjoy the aroma of the soup. Not only does it smell amazing as it cooks away, it’s equally as delicious. It’s thick, it’s hearty, it’s loaded with chicken, black beans and vegetables.
This soup tastes great all by itself, or you can add your favorite toppings such as chopped avocado, Greek yogurt, cheese , crushed organic tortilla chip or any other favorite topping. Serve with a side salad for a full meal, and enjoy!
