Dinner, Main Dishes

Macro Friendly Chicken Tortilla Soup

We leave for Hawaii in t-minus 28 days and I seriously can’t wait. If you’ve been to Maui and have food recommendations, please send them my way! Now speaking of vacation, I am on vacation body mode in my kitchen which means macro friendly recipes for you guys! This super easy Chicken Tortilla Soup is always on my dinner rotation whether I’m counting my macros or not. It’s delicious, full of flavor and really high in protein!

This soup is very versatile, you can omit and add any ingredients you’d like. I’ve added chopped green bell pepper before and in a pinch used ground turkey in the place of the chicken if I don’t have any. If you aren’t counting your macros, I suggest adding the entire block of cream cheese and piling this soup with a fat stack of shredded cheese, sour cream and crushed tortilla chips. Or if you’re like me, and are watching what you eat, topping it with chopped cilantro only, is still delicious.

Tips & Tricks:

  • If you are in a rush, you can make this on the stove top in a large stock pot. Add all ingredients, minus the cream cheese and cilantro and bring to a low boil over medium heat and then add cream cheese and stir it in until melted.
  • I always use Costco’s packaged pre-shredded rotisserie chicken for this recipe. It makes it so much easier!
  • You can use 4 cups of chicken stock in place of the water and bouillon cubes if you don’t have them.

THREE YEARS OLD!!! I can’t believe my baby girl THREE YEARS OLD!!!

I can’t believe my baby girl is already 3. Quinney woke up today crying that she didn’t want it to be her birthday and didn’t want to turn 3. If only I could keep her 2 forever 🤣

Quinney is our sour patch girl. She is a wild child with some serious sass but she has a very sweet side too. She’s the funniest little thing and always has us laughing. Her personality is summed up perfectly in many of these videos. She beats to the tune of her own drum, that’s for sure. But we wouldn’t have it any other way! 

She loves all things girly. Dancing, babies, Barbie’s, make up, nail polish, dresses and pink. We love our big 3 year old Quinney girl 💕💕💕
Food content has slowed down, I’m not in the kit Food content has slowed down, I’m not in the kitchen creating as much as normal and it’s been really hard on me to not be producing new recipes for you guys a couple times a week but that’s just the stage of life I’m in right now…..

Growing a human, raising 2 other humans, being a wife and taking care of my family will always be my number one priority. I’m exhausted 99% of the time but I know I’ll look back on these messy days and miss them dearly so right now I’m trying to not be so hard on myself and just live in the moment and be grateful for this life I’ve been blessed with. 

I promise when I get some energy back (if ever this pregnancy 🤪) I will be back to producing a couple new recipes a week but in the meantime I hope you stick around and enjoy my life via Instagram exactly as it is ❤️❤️❤️
