Creamy Chicken Fajita Soup

February 25, 2019 /

This is such a satisfying soup to enjoy, especially on a cold day. It has everything you love about fajita’s, but no fork or knife needed!!! I literally tossed most of my ingredients into the dutch oven for 2 hours and “Voila” Another perk of this soup is you can add lots of yummy toppings.

Ingredients

  • 3 frozen chicken breasts (which should equal 3 cups of shredded chicken)
  • 1 1/2 tbs of olive oil
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 3 cloves of crushed garlic
  • 1 red pepper finely chopped
  • 15.5 oz jar of salsa
  • 10.5 oz can of cream of chicken soup
  • 1 1/2 cups of chicken broth
  • 2 tsp of cumin
  • 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro plus extra for toppings
  • 8 oz of Velveeta cheese cubed
  • 2 cups of frozen super sweet corn
  • 15 oz can of black beans drained and rinsed
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

I used bagged frozen chicken breasts which tend to exude off a lot of moisture during the cooking process. You may need to add more broth to get your desired consistency if you are using fresh chicken breasts. My recipe will produce more of a thicker stew like consistency.

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat dutch oven with olive oil. Add chicken breasts, onion, garlic, red peppers, salsa, cream of chicken soup, chicken broth, cumin, and cilantro. Bake for 2 hours in oven or until chicken is fully cooked. (About an hour in stir all ingredients to incorporate)

Remove dutch oven from oven and set on top of stove top. Remove chicken and set aside. With dutch oven on stove top, turn burner to low-medium heat and bring soup to a slow simmer. Add Velveeta cheese and stir until fully incorporated. Add corn and black beans. Next shred your chicken and toss into soup and finish off with salt and pepper to taste! (If you feel your soup is too thick add more chicken broth until you get your desired consistency)
