CREAMY CHICKEN TORTILLA SOUP

PREP TIME:  5 minutes  COOK TIME:  2+ hours  MAKES:  6 servings

WHAT YOU NEED:

13.5 oz. (1 can) Lite coconut milk

14.5 oz. (1 can) Fire-roasted diced tomatoes

16 oz. Pulled rotisserie chicken (cooked)

150 g Plain nonfat Greek yogurt (one single serve)

NOTES: For our recipe, we used already-pulled rotisserie chicken in the packaged foods section. You could also make your own crockpot shredded chicken to use or even use canned chicken. For higher carb content, serve over rice, cauliflower rice, cornbread or enjoy with a serving of tortilla chips.

  1. Drain and rinse beans.

  2. Add all ingredients to the crock pot (except yogurt, cilantro and green onions) and mix until well combined.

  3. Set on low and cook for at least 2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes. Add more chicken stock for desired consistency.

  4. Portion into bowls and garnish each serving with a dollop of Greek yogurt, cilantro and green onions.
