All the classic Tex-Mex flavors of fajitas in soup form! Who could resist?
Chicken Fajita Soup Recipe
Yet one more thing I had to try in soup form, because it is fall after all! I’ve always loved chicken fajitas and I love soup just as much so the two are just meant to come together right? I’ve already made this soup twice in two weeks! It’s easy to make and it’s packed with all the flavors of classic chicken fajitas. To keep it hearty and filling I decided to add rice and black bean, and I personally like tomatoes on my fajitas (I make my fajitas more like a taco and load on the toppings) so you’ll also find the tomatoes here. And I went with the fire roasted to help gives this soup that classic charred fajita flavor.
How to Make Chicken Fajita Soup
Cook rice as directed on package. In a pot saute veggies. Add in broth, tomatoes, and seasonings. Add chicken and bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer to cook through. Slice chicken, return to soup along with rice, black beans, cilantro and lime.
Easy as can be!
Can I Make it in a Crock Pot?
Yes you could also cook this Chicken fajita soup in the crock pot. To do so:
Saute the onion and garlic first. Add to slow cooker with other ingredients up to and including chicken. Cook on low heat about 5 hours. Shred chicken, return to soup along with black beans, cooked rice, cilantro and lime.
Tips
Every now and then I’ll get a comment on some of my recipes that have 1 – 2 Tbsp of chili powder in them with people saying it was too spicy. If you aren’t used to chili powder you may find this chicken fajita soup a little spicy (also be sure not to buy hot chili powder). This soup wasn’t too spicy for my mom or kids who don’t like spicy foods, so hopefully it’s not for any of you. And as a side note, I used 2/3 of a yellow, red and green bell pepper instead of just using 2. Only for more color but I didn’t want to confuse anyone so I’d just thought I’d throw it out there.
