It was JUST yesterday they fit??
Here is Florida I’m in shorts and flip-flops pretty much year around. If I need a sweater it’s not for long and I really like that. UNTIL, yesterday and that pair of shorts I have had for six months is a little TIGHT. Yeah, the dryer didn’t do that, my favorite go to…need a few pounds off recipe.
My Weight Watchers Tortilla Soup with Chicken
This is based on Weight Watchers 0 Point Tortilla Soup. But, I need meat in mine, I need the protein it keeps me moving a bit longer.
3 chicken breast, in a pot with about 6 cups of water.
add 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper. Cook until the chicken is done, remove skin/bones. I do it this way, I can control the fat.
Or use 4 cups of Can Chicken Bone Broth
if you can find it, just a better flavor
Pull chicken out and shred.
1 cup Chopped Onions Chopped2 Garlic Cloves
3 Green Onions Chopped
3-4 stalks of Celery Chopped
1/2 a Green Pepper
1/3 Cup Fresh Cilantro
Spray pan with spray oil.
Cook in soup pan, make everything tender 10-15 minutes
Pour Chicken broth through a strainer and back into pot.(if homemade)
Add Shredded Chicken
Add the rest of the ingredients to the broth
2 – 12oz cans of Diced Tomatoes
1/2 cup Salsa, we like hot, use what you like
1 can Whole Corn – Or fresh off the cob, the best
1/2 teaspoon Cumin
1/2 teaspoon Chili Powder
1/2 teaspoon basil
Simmer and let cook down.
Serve with Sour Cream (I use Greek yogurt)
And taco chips
Suggestions
-
When you have leftovers after the holidays or party, make this soup, you can add anything to it and it’s wonderful.
-
Try adding fresh spinach, cut up add in about 5 minutes before serving.
-
You can use any meat, shred turkey, shred roast beef or pork, if you use another meat or don’t want to do your own chicken stock, use 4 cups of Chicken Broth
-
This is a make it your own soup.
-
We eat this year round, mostly I think because it’s a great solo-lunch for me.
-
It’s very good without meat, it will be a 0 Point meal with no meat.

My Mom lives VERY close to me here, it had been the plan. She is moving into a new stage of aging and I don’t like what I see. And, OK before you all get all high and mighty, yes I love her, but I have to say a couple of things. So….please don’t email me all about HOW great it all was with your XVZ… Because, REALLY it’s NOT all sunshine and roses. Plus, that’s the reason you’ve not heard anything about her for YEARS. It’s NOW my turn.
