FAJITA CHICKEN CHILI SOUP

My family is obsessed with soup. What can I say? The second the weather cools down, we bust out the crock pot and rely on delicious soup recipes to feed us during the cooler months. I think the soups also remind us of the season and the holidays, and we think of them in a loving way. Sounds silly, I know, but it’s true. 

This next recipe is for Fajita Chicken Chili and is one my mom and sisters tried out back in Arizona. They absolutely loved it and said it would definitely be added to the soup season rotation list. It’s filled with so many great ingredients like chicken, tomatoes, beans, avocado and more. With it’s great blend of spices and so many great recipes, this recipe is one of a kind and beyond delicious!!
