This is a yummy, spicy version of the classic shepherd's pie. There are many substitutions that can lower the calories and sodium to suit your needs/tastes. Using ground turkey, low-fat cheese and no salt added veggies are the easiest three I can think of. Also, I love Jiffy mix cornbread, but I'm sure there are healthier versions out there! Enjoy!

Incredible! 5.0/5

The recipe posted on Whole Foods' website is over 600 calories per serving so I tweaked it a bit to make it lighter, plus I used canned chicken for convenience. I absolutely love the original and am so excited to get to make my own. I bet it is even better if you cook and cube your own chicken but I know I won't have time on a regular basis.

Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup
Very Good 4.6/5

This is an adaptation of my favorite chicken tortilla soup recipe. If you have the calories to spare, make some tortilla chips in the oven to eat with the soup and top with a bit of sour cream, cheese, avocado and anything else you like! It is very flavorful on it's own, though. Be sure to use high-quality enchilada sauce, as some brands can be greasy. I like to add other veggies in sometimes, such as carrots and squash.
