How to make Chicken Fajitas Soup
Heat Olive Oil in a dutch pot. As the oil shimmers, add the chopped onions and diced bell peppers. Saute for 2 min. Add the minced garlic and saute.
Add the Fajita Seasoning, diced tomatoes, Broth and shredded Chicken. Toss to combine.
Cover cook the soup for 10-20 min over medium low heat.
Garnish with freshly squeezed lime juice and chopped cilantro and serve.
Hint: If you're using chicken breasts, then cook it in the dutch pot. Shred it and then stir in the soup.
However, I feel shredded rotisserie chicken saves a LOT of time in making this soup recipe.

Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven until heated through before serving.
