Clean chicken tortilla soup

Ingredients

3	pounds chicken breasts (you can use bone-in, skin-on if you’d like, or boneless skinless. The goal is to have somewhere close to 2 or more pounds of cooked chicken at the end)
3	tablespoons of oil of your choice, divided (we used coconut oil)
2-3	teaspoons of fajita or taco seasoning (use a mix of ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder and cayenne if you don’t have)
1	large or 2 medium onions, diced
6	cloves garlic, minced
2	jalapeno peppers, diced
1-2	poblano peppers, diced
2	quarts (8 cups) chicken stock
1	28 ounce can of fire roasted tomatoes (if you can’t find fire-roasted, you can either fire-roast your own, or just use regular canned tomoatoes)
	Juice of 2 limes
1	cup cilantro, chopped
	avocado and fresh cilantro for garnish

Directions

1. Clean chicken

2. In a crockpot, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil, and when hot, add in the onions. Cook until onions are translucent, about 4-6 minutes. Place chicken in crockpot.

3. Add in the garlic and peppers and saute for about 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.

4. Pour in the chicken stock and fire roasted tomatoes and bring to a medium boil.

5. [OPTIONAL] If you want a slightly thickened soup, strain out some of the tomatoes, onions and peppers to a blender or Magic Bullet and puree. Pour back into the broth mixture. I did this with about 1/2 of the solids in the soup.

6. Add the chicken, cilantro and lime juice to your bubbling cauldron of goodness. Taste to see what you’re in need of (salt? pepper? more of a kick?) and adjust as need be.

7. Serve nice and hot with some fresh cilantro and chopped up avocado to go on top. Maybe a wedge of lime if you’re feeling pretty tart, or some extra diced up jalapeños or poblanos if you need more heat.

2B Mindset

4 years ago.. a spin instructor, overworking out and under eating. I was put on medications for the lack of nutrition. I struggled with binge eating, smoke to lose weight and had a terrible relationship with food! All the years of restricting myself or overeating caught up with me. I was left exhausted, depleted and desperate. But, 4 years ago, I learned how to turn food into fuel so I could FEEL better and live my best life. I used portion control and clean eating to go off medications and have a better relationship with food BUT still have struggled with the scale and balance. NEXT WEEK, I learn how to take all of those negative cognitions around food and remove them from my life... for good. The 2B Mindset Weight Loss Program, coming May 2, 2018, is a breakthrough weight loss program that will have you feeling full and satisfied not hungry and deprived. No more counting calories, points, measuring food or cutting food groups. You g...

Feelin'

Along with recipes, health tips and fitness moves, I want to share my journey mentally and emotionally too. I am not certain though that people want to read it, but I do feel like people will understand me more and possibly can relate. Other than the physical transformations, I feel like more happens inside and I want to explore that. I have always been an active kind of person, sports, running and outside "stuff." The thing that really kicked my ass was nutrition, I was so active that I thought I could eat and drink whatever I wanted! Like most of us~ I became a spin instructor at a small studio in Lake Oswego OR, loved it and still do! I def was not the skinniest of the bunch and I didnt really even care lol but after teaching 6-8 times a weak, I began to have NO ENERGY and my body was not changing.. Not cool when you are working out so much, right?!? After getting blood work done, I found of that I depleted my iron, thyroid, vit D and I had no cholesterol in ...
