Low Calorie Chicken Tortilla Soup Recipe

This recipe for healthy chicken tortilla soup combines warm and smokey cumin with spicy peppers and tomatoes for a full flavored mexican inspired soup that is really low in calories. It is full of healthy vegetables and lean protein-rich chicken breast and topped with just a bit of part-skim mozzarella cheese and baked tortilla chips for a nice crunch. If you have a hard time finding baked tortilla chips in the grocery store these days, try making your own out of corn tortillas. They are pretty simple to make, and quite inexpensive as well compared to store-bought chips. The baked version will save you quite a few calories and fat grams as compared to standard tortillas chips coming from the store. Maybe the best thing about this soup is that by using canned tomatoes and broth, this soup literally comes together in about 20 minutes. It is a very quick, easy recipe for a last-minute light supper or lunch on a cool day when you are craving a filling and warm soup. But take one bite of this soup, and you will not think that it took only minutes to prepare. It seems like one of those soups that simmered over the stove all day.
