Remember to ADD GARNISH SEPARATELY in your food tracking.
Heat 2 Tbsp olive oil in a stock pot, and saute carrots, celery, onion and garlic over medium heat. While cooking veggies, clean Hungarian wax pepper of seeds and white ribs and then mince (please use gloves, as this will sting your hands for days if you get it under your finger nails). Toss into veggies as they continue to soften.
Remove skin and bones from rotisserie chicken and dice or tear the meat. Add 16 cups broth to the stock pot. Add chicken and canned tomatoes. If you cannot find Rotel tomatoes with lime juice, add a little fresh lime juice and an extra can of regular diced tomatoes.
Stir and bring to a boil. Add chopped cilantro, the more the better. Reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
If desired, serve each bowl with garnish of 1 Tbsp fat free sour cream, 1 tsp reduced fat shredded cheddar cheese, 1 slice avocado and 5 tortilla chips.
