Anybody else looking forward to the Fall season? I know I am. It's almost soup season again, and I thought I'd kick start it a bit by posting this tortilla soup recipe.
Since the Zero Point Cabbage Soup recipe was doing so well, I thought I would post another variation of the famous Zero Point Soup. Well,it's more like 2 Smart Points per serving, but still who doesn't love Tortilla Soup? Since this soup is so low in points you can top it with your favorite Tortilla soup toppings such as cheese, chicken or some tortilla chips for an easy and low point lunch. Just remember to count the points though.
This soup is only 51 calories per serving, can you believe that? Hello Fall soups here I come!

Description
Since the Zero Point Cabbage Soup recipe was doing so well, I thought I would post another variation of the famous Zero Point Soup.
Ingredients
- 1 cup onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- 3 green onions, chopped
- 2 (12 ounce) cans diced tomatoes
- 4 cups low-fat chicken broth
- 1⁄3 cup salsa
- 1⁄2 red pepper, chopped
- 1⁄2 green pepper, chopped
- 3 -4 celery ribs, chopped
- 1⁄3 cup fresh cilantro
- 1⁄2 teaspoon cumin
- 1⁄2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon basil
- 4 tablespoons fat free sour cream or greek yogurt
- 4 tablespoons flour, to thicken (I only use 1 because I don't like thick soup)
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (cooked)
Instructions
- Simmer onions, garlic, green onions, peppers, and celery in a pan until tender. Add in chicken broth, (reserve 4 tablespoons of chicken broth for later), salsa, and diced tomatoes. Then add in the spices. Whisk the flour and reserved chicken broth in a bowl and add that to the pot with the chicken. Let that simmer until soup is thickened.
Garnish with cheese, tortilla chips, etc. (optional)
- Serving Size: 1 cup

Yeah I don't see why not!
Tanya says
Can a corn starch slurry be used instead of flour to thicken the soup? Thanks
Jenna says
It's a topping/garnish.
kristen says
Do u put the 4 tbsp of sour cream in the soup or is it just garnish?
Jenna says
The number of servings should be listed in the recipe. Divide equally into whatever the serving size says. I usually use freezer storage bags or tupper ware containers to store the leftovers in.

I put it into the point system on creating your own reciepe . It came out to 3 points. I only used one tbsp of the flour and did the fat free sour cream. As far as serving size I just assumed 1 cup since I didn't see a response to be on the safe side. The soup is delicious !
Claudette roller says
