Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fajita seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Chopped cilantro, for garnish (optional)
  • Salt & pepper, to taste
  • Crushed tortilla chips, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the diced bell peppers and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until they soften and develop a slight char.
  4. Sprinkle in 2 tablespoons of fajita seasoning, stirring well to coat the veggies evenly.
  5. Pour in 4 cups of chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low.
  6. Stir in the shredded cooked chicken and simmer for 10 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
  7. Lower the heat and slowly whisk in 1 cup of heavy cream and ½ cup of sour cream. Stir continuously to prevent curdling.
  8. Add 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and stir until it melts completely into the soup.
  9. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for another 5 minutes.
  10. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with crushed tortilla chips on top for a delightful crunch.

Notes

Use rotisserie chicken for added flavor and convenience. Adjust the spice level to your preference by adding more fajita seasoning or hot sauce. Prevent curdling by lowering the heat and stirring continuously when adding cream and sour cream.
