5-Minute Tex-Mex Chicken Soup | THM: E

Save for later!

When we visited Texas almost 2 years ago, we enjoyed a great deal of Tex-Mex cuisine – a favorite flavor of ours! Our visit there inspired this chicken soup: a THM E that can be whipped together lickety-split!

In approximately 5 minutes, using mostly canned or leftover ingredients like chicken broth, sugar-free salsa, corn, pinto beans, and lime juice, you’ll have a pot full of soup ready for simmering. Serve with a loaf or two of sourdough bread and you’ll be able to feed a large family on-plan and very inexpensively.

P.S. Did y’all notice the sticker mark on the bowl? I didn’t…until I uploaded the photos on my camera to the computer! Oops! Blogging bloopers.

  1. This sounds amazing!! I will try it soon. (And I know exactly where your cute bowl came from as I have identical ones in my cupboard…several of them with stubborn sticker marks still in place). I love ALL your dessert recipes I’ve made. It’s great to get so many fabulous recipes from a fellow Canuck! Thx
