Chipotle Crack Chicken Soup, creamy, comforting, full of flavor and hearty… with a little kick!
Do you remember those knock-out crack chicken tacos I made a while back? Well, we only ate about half of the chicken and the I froze the rest. I really wanted to make something new out of it instead of just having it like leftovers.
It has actually been super cold here in Florida (well, for us anyway!) and we have been craving just really comforting meals. So, I wanted to make a hearty chicken soup then I remembered about the leftover crack chicken in the freezer.
And, that my friends is how this ah-mazing chipotle crack chicken soup was born!
It is really phenomenal! Creamy, a little spicy, rich and sooo flavorful!
And, did I mention easy?? This dish does together in no time!
