FAQ Mexican Chicken Soup

When you're looking for a warming recipe, soups have a lot to offer. They are quick and simple to make, plus most of the ingredients will already be in your pantry.

Healthy Soup Goodness

Take a look at the nutrient panel for this recipe, the ingredients pack some pretty solid nutritional punch.

The Mexican chicken soup has a nice amount of fibre for a soup due to the inclusion of beans, corn, capsicum, and onion. Fibre is great for gut health and it also helps us achieve that contented, full feeling for longer.

Although the recipe only contains about 75 grams of chicken per person the protein in the soup is a healthy 25 grams due to the inclusion of vegetable protein.

The soups calorie count would easily fit into any diet plan leaving room for a side salad, extra vegetable, or some toppings as shown below.

Loaded Mexican Chicken Soup

If you would like to take your soup game to the next level try some of these toppings to create a "loaded" soup. These are so much more than a simple garnish!

Grated Cheese
Diced Avocado
Corn Chips
Cheesy Quesadilla
Sour Cream
Diced Tomato
Coriander

Budget Busting Recipe

Another thing to love about this recipe is the cost per serve! At just $12 for 6 bowls of soup, this is definitely a dish to keep in mind when it's getting near the end of the month and the bank account is low. If you have a well-stocked pantry you may even find the only item you need to purchase is the chicken and sour cream.

Another way your Thermomix saves you time, money and health!

Other Warming Recipes

There is nothing so warming as a cosy winter's dish. I have some favourites including my Meatballs in Tomato Sauce or the hearty Maple Syrup Lamb Shanks. Plus you can't go past these soups, they're always at the top of my most googled recipe during winter. Thermomix Pumpkin Soup and Chinese Chicken Sweet Corn Soup and Red Lentil Curry.

I think desserts are a must to warm the belly when the weather turns cool, so don't forget to make an Apple Crumble or Butterscotch Self-Saucing Pudding to go with dinner.

FAQ Mexican Chicken Soup

How long does the soup keep in the fridge?

The soup will keep 5 days in the fridge. I don't like to keep chicken dishes any longer than 5 days.

Can the soup be frozen?

Yes, this is a great recipe to freeze for future meals. Divide into serves and freeze in individual portions.

What is "Cowboy Dust"?

Cowboy Dust is my homemade taco seasoning that has no preservatives, colours, flavours, or fillers. The recipe is in my cookbook "A Tex-Mex Fiesta."

What can I use in place of Cowboy Dust?

You can use Taco seasoning in place of Cowboy Dust. It will be a little different as the flavour will vary. Also, taco seasoning has a thickening agent. It will still work though.

How hot is the soup?

The heat of the soup will largely depend on the taco seasoning used. If you would like mild soup, choose mild taco seasoning. You can also reduce the jalapenos or omit them completely.
