Easy Chicken Fajita Soup

Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into strips
1 (1.27 ounce) packet fajita seasoning
1 red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
1 green bell pepper, cut into thin strips
1 poblano pepper, cut into thin strips
1 large onion, cut into thin strips
1 (14.5 ounce) can fire roasted diced tomatoes
1 (15 ounce) can seasoned black beans
1 (14 ounce) can chicken broth
1 dash hot sauce
salt and pepper to taste



Directions

1. Heat oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Place chicken in the hot oil; cook, stirring only occasionally, until brown, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle fajita seasoning over the browned chicken and stir well to coat. Add the red and green bell pepper, poblano pepper, and onion to the seasoned chicken. Stir and cook over medium heat until the vegetables are soft, about 10 minutes.

2. Pour the fire roasted tomatoes, black beans, and chicken broth into the pot with the chicken and vegetables. Bring the soup to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

3. Season the soup with hot sauce, salt, and pepper to taste before serving.

Enjoy!!

I was nervous at first about the taste but after I let it simmer it was great. With the chicken we can get here it came in 1 & 1/2 lb. package so I doubled the chicken broth & black beans. We also can not get the poblano pepper here so I did jalapenos and some red chile. I also didn't do green pepper as we seem to just really enjoy the red pepper. As always I boiled the chicken till it was cooked then put it in the pan with less oil and went from there.
