Chicken Fajita Soup

Hippie2MARS's Note:

I wanted a soup reminiscent of my favorite Mexican food...FAJITAS...and this is what I came up with.! I prefer to make this in a slow cooker. The aroma fills the whole house...yummy! I serve this with tortilla chips, grated cheese and sour cream for toppers.

Keep the hose handy to cool off your pipes with this yummy, spicy soup! Instead of the crockpot, I pulled this together on the stove top and simmered about an hour. Next time, I'll cut back a bit on the chipotle and chili powder. We love spicy, but we found this just a bit too much for our tastes. Rather than mix in the cheese, I served each bowl with a sprinkling of cheese on top. Thanks for sharing!
