Healthy Santa Fe Chicken Soup

If you’re looking for a low calorie chicken soup that really satisfies, you’ll want to try this Santa Fe Chicken Soup. Not only does it contain lean protein from chicken breasts, but it also gets a protein boost from black beans. The high protein soup is filling but it’s also low fat, low cholesterol and low sodium. In addition to heart healthy fiber from the brown rice, beans and vegetables, you’ll also get a dose of vitamins and minerals from the colorful natural ingredients, like green peppers, red tomatoes and yellow corn.

This soup has all the tastes of traditional Santa Fe chicken but in a bowl. What is Santa Fe chicken made of? It’s typically made by combining chicken with black beans, corn and tomatoes. This soup incorporates the same ingredients into a soup that eats like a stew. It’s a one-pot meal that combines all of these ingredients, as well as onion, garlic, bell pepper, rice, cilantro and chili powder. These ingredients simmer in low sodium chicken broth until the flavors meld and the chicken shreds easily. All you need to do after browning the chicken and sauteeing the veggies is to let the soup cook covered for about 45 minutes.
