Yup, four weeks into my Biggest Loser thang and some stuff is getting old. Like soup every day or salad every day. Yikes, I need to get out of my salad/soup slump. I guess the fact that we have had chicken soup quite a bit lately didn't help at all. It's good but I need to spice things up a little. So I did.I basicly used a Chicken Soup base here and did some add ins. The add ins are really what makes this soup shine.
FIESTA SOUP
These vegetables decided to get together, not just for vegetable soup, but for a vegetable party!
6 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup carrots, sliced thinly
1/2 cup celery, sliced thinly
2 teaspoons canola oil
1 medium onion chopped
1 bay leaf
1 cup corn
s and p to taste
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
1 cup salsa
2-3 ounces per person of deli turkey or chopped poultry
Saute onions, celery and carrots in canola oil. When they have turned transluscent add broth and bay leaf. Cook for 15 minutes. Add corn and cook until the corn is heated through. Divide soup into four bowls, about 1 1/2 cups per bowl. Top with sliced or chopped turkey. Spoon salsa and cilantro over that.
About 300 calories per bowl, depending how much turkey or chicken you use.
