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.

How many calories are you putting in your coffee?

Bottom line, your saving TONS of calories by switching to either black coffee or coffee with unsweetened almond milk! Refer back to my blog about ways that I flavor up my café :) Think about it: 20 calories per tablespoon of half & half and 16 calories per tablespoon of sugar.... SO, if you have 2 cups of coffee a day with 2 TBS of half & half and 1 TBS of sugar 7 days a week, that is 784 calories!!! If you have 3 cups a day, you are looking at 1,176 calories.. YIKES Lets replace your fixin's with unsweetened almond milk! 4 calories per 2 TBS equals to 56 calories per week if you drink 2 cups a day! HMMMM Check out this great article! http://www.eatouteatwell.com/how-many-calories-are-you-putting-into-your-coffee/
