I hope y’all aren’t “souped out” yet. 😉 I know I’ve been sharing a lot of soups lately, but I just can’t seem to help myself. I could probably eat soup multiple times a week and be perfectly happy. Plus my son actually requests it for dinner all the time! You’ve probably heard me mention that he is a picky eater, so it’s a big deal when he makes requests other than sandwiches or pizza.

This Chicken Fajita Soup was actually one of those ideas that came about as I was looking through my fridge, trying to decide what to make for dinner. I had some peppers that I needed to use up, plus some leftovers from my weekly rotisserie chicken. I mentioned my adoration for those chickens in my Shrimp Enchiladas recipe. 🙂

This soup was so easy to make, and it was ready FAST! Under 30 minutes fast, y’all. Plus, it tastes AMAZING! I added in some sharp cheddar to give it a nice cheesy finish, and there were no complaints coming from our dinner table!

Enjoy!

    You are similar to my husband then as he also likes looking through the fridge, trying to decide what to make for dinner. He comes up with the best dinners. Love your bowl by the way. Thanks for sharing.

      Definitely a winner!! Will be making again! I added sautéed mushrooms – my kids weren’t impressed but I love them !

    I used pre-marinated chicken fajita meat/veggies from the mexican store, which is a nice start. It still needed fajita seasoning, I used one with a heavy salt/msg, so it got a bit saltier than I’d like. This was a larger batch overall, but one pack of cream cheese was fine, just not as thick. Next time I’ll try adding some cilantro.

    This was an awesome dish. Easy to make and delicous! I cooked it exactly like the recipe said and it was just perfect. I also used the fajita seasoning recipe, which I believe made this soup so tasty. It was a hit with my family and I’ll make this again and again. Thanks for such a great recipe. Love it!

    This recipe is seriously so good. It’s now a staple at our house and we can’t get enough. The only change I made is I add a can of Rotel and fresh jalapeños. Thanks for the recipe!

      Hi Tina! I’ve never made this in the crockpot before but I honestly don’t know why it couldn’t! I’d probably cook on low for 4-5 hours.

    This was absolutely delicious! My family doesn’t tend to like chunks of anything, so we subbed tomato paste for the diced tomatoes. Thanks for sharing!

    Made this for dinner tonight. It was delicious. There were no leftovers so I’ll need to double the recipe next time.
