Zesty Chicken and Salsa Soup


Zesty Chicken and Salsa Soup

everyday smart moves magazine


1 ¾ cups water

1 14-ounce can reduced sodium chicken broth

½ pound skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into bite-size pieces

1-2 teaspoons chili powder

1 11-ounce can whole kernel corn with sweet peppers, drained

1 cup Tostitos salsa [we use the medium]

3 cups broken Tostitos tortilla chips

2 ounces reduced-fat Monterey Jack cheese with jalapeno peppers, shredded


In a large saucepan combine water, chicken broth, chicken breast and chili powder. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 8 minutes. Add corn. Simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes more. Stir in salsa; heat through.


To Serve: Ladle into soup bowls. Top with tortilla chips and sprinkle with cheese. Makes 4 servings. We eat it with a tasty green salad and we've found that corn bread compliments it nicely. :)

  1. We have a recipe sort of like this- but with Trader Joe's fresh salsa, a tsp or 2 cumin and a can of black beans. I usually throw everything in the crock pot for 6-8 hours on low. Yummmm
