Soup Recipe
Mexican style food is my all time favorite and putting fajitas in a soup is just the most amazing thing. I honestly may get this cooking for dinner again tonight.
I love a great soup recipe and this one really is one of my favorites. Filled with shredded chicken, corn, peppers, onions, and fajita seasoning.
To make it creamy thought we added cream and cheese to the broth for a super yummy soup recipe! Make sure to check out some of my other favorite soups after you try this one like my, Taco Soup!
Ingredients
- Chicken: I used boneless and skinless chicken breast.
- Bell Peppers: I find red, orange, or yellow work best for this soup.
- Onion: A white onion is what I typically use but feel free to use your favorite onion.
- Corn: I used can corn but frozen or fresh work for this recipe.
- Rotel: this is just canned diced tomatoes and green chilis.
- Salsa: Chucky salsa is what we love to use but use your family's favorite salsa for this recipe.
- Fajita seasoning: Taco seasoning would also work for this if you already have it on hand.
- Half and half: This is half milk and half heavy cream. If you can't find this in store just use equal parts milk and cream.
- Fiesta blend cheese: is our faovire cheese to use for this recipe but you can use any of your favorite shredded cheese.
How to make Creamy Chicken Fajita Soup:
Step one: Add chicken breast, bell pepper, onion, corn, Rotel, salsa, chicken, and chicken broth into a large pot then mix in fajita seasoning.
- Tip: My family prefers this recipe without beans but feel free to add them here if your family enjoys them
Step two: Allow boiling then reduce heat to medium and shimmer.
Step three: Remove chicken and shred then add the shredded chicken back into the pot.
Step four: Pour in half and half and shredded cheese. Mix into soup well and allow to cook for 10 more minutes on low.

Hi! I made this tonight and added two jalapeños. Delicious!!!
Pam, can this soup be frozen since it has cream cheese in the recipe?
Thanks,
Donna
Yes, you can freeze it!
Making the recipe right now. You mention adding Heavy Cream and then Half N Half. Does it matter which one I use? Cant wait to try the recipe!!
Sorry for any confusion Pam. I use half and half for this recipe.
I made this for dinner tonight, I used rotisserie chicken and added black beans. It was super yummy topped with sour cream, cilantro and avocado!!
So happy to hear that!!
This is a really easy and tasty recipe. We added a couple jalapenos because we like a little more fire but definitely good! We will make again for sure!
I love the idea of Jalapeños in it!! My husband isn't a fan of the spice but I love it! So glad you liked it Candice!!
Can you do this in a slow cooker if so how ling
