Andy's South-West Chicken Soup (Atkins-Low Carb) image

I came up with this recipe during my first phase of Atkins and I needed a break from straight meat and green beans (God, would I love a piece of pizza right now) Nevertheless, I basically just used what I had available at the time, however, my roommate tried this soup and thought it was great. So, I thought I would share it with the rest of you.

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 lbs chicken breasts
1 cup bell pepper (chopped)
3 garlic cloves
1 small sweet onion (chopped)
1 1/2 cups chicken stock
1/4 cup butter
1 chili seasoning mix (I use McCormick Hot taco seasoning)
1 (14 ounce) can tomatoes (canned or chopped or stewed)
1/2 cup green chili (canned or fresh)

Steps:

  • Cut chicken breast into chunks, sized to your liking (bite-size).
  • Sauté bell pepper, garlic and onion in butter.
  • Add chicken to the pan with bell pepper, garlic, onion, and butter. (season to taste) cook chicken just to to the point where it begins to change color (cooked-color).
  • Preheat crock pot and add chicken stock, tomatoes, green chilies and the remaining ingredients from the pan.
  • Stir in taco or chili seasoning.
  • Set crock pot to high for around 45 minutes and reduce heat to low until ready to serve.
  • Garnish with sharp cheddar and sour cream.
  • NOTE: If you would like a little thicker more chili like consistency, cook uncovered, and maybe add a small can of tomato paste.
  • (Options for non-Atkins users).
  • Beans (should help for a thicker consistency).
  • Rice.
  • Garnish with corn chips.
