This recipe makes A LOT so make sure you use a BIG pot. Also, the nutrition info does NOT include toppings. You will need to add that info on your own

1. In your big pot saute the garlic, onion, jalapeno, and green pepper in the oil until soft

2. Add the rest of the ingredients to the pot (minus the toppings) (stir the water and corn starch together before adding to pot) and bring to a boil...I had to partially cover mine with a lid to get it to boil.

3. After 15 minutes take the chicken out and shred (I used 2 forks and pulled the chicken apart in chunks).


4. Put the chicken back in the soup and simmer for an additional 45 minutes.


5. Serve in a bowl, topped with cheese, avocado and chips if desired.

Number of Servings: 12
