How do you make soup feel hearty?
I’m a soup lover – like all the soups are my jam, but Justin really only loves a good, hearty soup. It’s got to be pretty loaded and substantial for him to feel like it’s a complete meal. So, for this chicken fajita soup, I added lots of bell peppers, fire roasted tomatoes, green chiles, onion and a decent amount of chicken. Then, to take it to the next level, I threw in some cauliflower rice to make it feel even more filling and complete.
What if I’m not sold on cauliflower rice in my soup?
No biggie. It’s still a delicious soup without the cauliflower rice, and will make it an even lower carb option if you’re trying to stay in the Keto zone. You can even play with how much you add in to use less or more to suit your preferences. I love soup and could eat at least one variety every week, so I’m always trying to find ways to get Justin on board with soup by making it heartier and more filling! You do you!
Make it for meal prep
We like this soup for meal prep because it makes a large batch and reheats well. There are a couple different ways to approach meal prep, too. You can make this chicken fajita soup on Sunday for dinner, and then use the leftovers for a few lunches during the week. This accomplishes Sunday night dinner and a little meal prep all in one. This is most often how we use soups for meal prep. You can also just make it over the weekend and portion it out into lunch servings to take to work. Or…you can make it over the weekend and then have it on hand for a busy weeknight where you only have time to reheat your dinner. Either way, you’re going to feel well prepared for the work week!
