Taco Soup???

mcrawley22

Does anyone have a good (healthy of course) taco soup recipe? I would prefer chicken or turkey but am just looking for a tasty one that isn't too high in the calories, sodium.
thanks!!

faithindeed82: what is white chunk chicken? is that like canned tuna just canned chicken?

kayemme

we make it vegetarian style (use button mushrooms instead of meat) and throw a can of cheap beer into it.

http://www.summerchilde.com/2009/11/17/soupy-sunday-2/ this is my boyfriend's version.

mine includes leftover salsa or roasted peppers, jalapenos (if available) and extra cumin. you top this with (a small amount of) frito's corn chips, sour cream and cheese. the fat in the toppings is pretty much the only real fat in the soup, but don't go crazy or it ruins it.

8 corn tortillas, halved and thinly sliced
Canola or olive oil cooking spray
1 tablespoon canola oil
3 Anaheim or poblano peppers, diced (or bell peps)
1 medium onion, diced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces (see Tip)
4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 14-ounce can diced tomatoes with green chiles
2 tablespoons lime juice
1/2 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese (or low fat any cheese)
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Preparation
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Spread tortilla strips in an even layer on a baking sheet and coat with cooking spray. Bake until browned and crispy, 12 to 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add peppers and onion and cook, stirring, until the onion begins to soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Add cumin and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add chicken, broth, tomatoes and their juice. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in lime juice. Serve each portion topped with some of the baked tortilla strips, Cheddar and cilantro.
Tips & Notes
Tip: To trim boneless, skinless chicken thighs, we like to use kitchen shears to snip the fat away from the meat.

Taco Soup - (from Weight Watchers I believe!)

1 Onion - cut up
1 Green pepper - cut up
1 lb. to 1.5 lbs. ground hamburger, chicken, or turkey

Cook the above in a pan. When using hamburger, I skim the fat off when done. Add:

1 package taco seasoning mix
1 package Hidden Valley Ranch dressing mix

Stir. Transfer mixture to a crock pot or a big soup pot for the stove. (I prefer a crock pot!)

Add:

1 can of corn -undrained
1 can of Mexican diced tomatoes - undrained
1 can of diced tomatoes - undrained
1 can of kidney beans - undrained
1 can of pinto beans - undrained

Let this simmer for a while. When ready to serve, add a tablespoon of light sour cream or grated cheese. Tostitios are a great add as well and offer a satisfying crunch. Enjoy!

( I am pretty sure it is already in the database, too!)

It is already in the database for food! So you do not need to enter it in just search "Taco Soup," if you make it.

My dad just recently made a taco soup (but it turned out more like taco chili which was AMAZING). Anyways, I'll have to get back to you on this one. I'm not sure what the calories or sodium is like because I was sick that day and off my diet (since I hadn't eaten anything for the previous three days). I'm sure it couldn't be too bad; the worst thing in it was the extra lean ground beef, and we all know that's not bad at all. And, I'm sure you could find lower-sodium/lower-calorie versions of any of the other ingredients.

I'll post it tomorrow! I won't forget... Or at least I'll REALLY, REALLY try not to.

You know what? I actually think this IS the recipe my dad made. Hmm, weird. Lol. If you go with this one, don't forget the light sour cream and baked tortilla chips. It's 110% better with them.
