I've made this soup a number of times and each time it seems to get better and better.
I often cook a bunch of chicken and have bags of portioned cooked, shredded chicken in the freezer. I cooked the rice early in the day so when it came time for dinner, this was able to be thrown together very quickly.
We ate this with a pepper jack peach quesadilla with honey lime sour cream. It was a wonderful meal!! Very healthy and incredibly tasty!!

What a great last minute dinner, thanks.
ReplyDeleteSounds and looks good to me! Great colors in it.
ReplyDeleteSounds like our kind of soup.Like you I love to cook chicken and some some ready to use in the freezer.
ReplyDeleteThe lime must give it a nice added zip to it.
ReplyDeleteThat looks delicious! I love using lime with chicken. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great dinner idea! I like that you've perfected it for us! I like to do that with chicken too, it nice to grab a portion of it when you need it and toss it in some soup or casserole! I am going to note this one!
ReplyDeleteI love a spicy soup. They are so satisfying. I'm happy to see a calorie count too. I do the same thing. Keeps me on track.

Saved and on my 'to do' list. Thanks Debbie. Dianr
ReplyDeleteWe're always looking for a new soup recipe to add to our repertoire - this one looks and sounds great!
ReplyDeleteThis looks so good! I'm such a sucker for chicken and lime and green chilis! Oh, and I made your Asian Turkey Broccoli Slaw last night and it was delish! I had it wrapped in lettuce and my guys had it over rice and scarfed it all up! So fast, delicious and healthy!
ReplyDeleteI love that you added lime - yum! (and sorry for all our swearing lately - I promise to clean out my potty mouth soon!)
ReplyDeleteHi Debbi,
ReplyDeleteI can almost smell this wonderful Green Chili Chicken & Lime Chili. This Chili really looks good and I can't wait to give it a try. Thank you so much for sharing it with us here at Full Plate Thursday. You have a great week end and please come back!
This sounds lovely - and wonderful that you can prepare it all last minute!
ReplyDeleteThis whole dinner sounds awesome, what great flavors and variety.
ReplyDeleteI can't get enough of the spicy/lime flavor combo! This sounds perfect... I'm definitely trying it!!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like such a flavorful soup!
ReplyDeleteThis whole dinner sounds amazing. I just got a new quesadilla maker, so I am bookmarking this meal for next week. If I can wait that long..yum.
ReplyDeleteOh mans, this is my favorite soup! I so need to make it again. I love what you chose to go with it--that quesadilla sounds like it's off the hook! mmmm
ReplyDeleteA hearty meal for this freezing weather, perfect. Spicy soup and cheesy quesadilla, mouth watering. Your so generous enough to add those calorie counts, thanks.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever done it with brown rice?
ReplyDeleteThis is such a good combination of ingredients. Sounds like the perfect food for a cold day.
