Figure Friendly Friday is back! Hope you have had a great week. I'm sharing a simple soup recipe this week.
Here's the "rules":
Here's the "rules":
This linky party will be for recipes that come in under 500 calories. Recipes or methods from desserts to soups and everything in between. However, if your recipe does not fit the 500 calorie goal, I'll have to delete it. There are a couple of free calorie counters, but I really like sparkrecipes.com. Please list the calories per serving somewhere in the recipe for everyone to see. Also, please link back to Family Stamping and FOOD! and be sure to visit the other participants.
I'm hoping for a successful linky party so let your friends know!
This week I'm sharing a Tex-Mex take on a classic American soup...Mexican Chicken and Rice Soup.
Mexican Chicken and Rice Soup
10 cups chicken stock
1-8 oz can tomato sauce
1 tsp chicken/tomato bouillon
1 tbsp ground cumin
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried cilantro or 1 tbsp fresh
2 cups pre-cooked brown rice
1 cup black beans (or half a can)
1-1/2 cups pre-cooked chicken, shredded or cubed
1 can diced green chiles (like Ortega brand)
avocado (optional, not in calorie count)
reduced calorie sour cream (optional, not in calorie count)
1-8 oz can tomato sauce
1 tsp chicken/tomato bouillon
1 tbsp ground cumin
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried cilantro or 1 tbsp fresh
2 cups pre-cooked brown rice

1-1/2 cups pre-cooked chicken, shredded or cubed
1 can diced green chiles (like Ortega brand)

Add everything (except avocado and sour cream) to a slow cooker and place on the high setting. Cook for 4 hours until heated through.
Serve with 2 Tbsp diced avocado (+38 calories) and 1 Tbsp reduced calorie sour cream (+20 calories). Round out the meal with a small sliver of cornbread.

Looks like we're traveling the earth, you have Mexican soup, I have Italian. It's all good!
Candi, I really hope your linky party takes off. I don't really know the calorie content of my recipes, but I'll go through and figure one out to post.

I love this idea, but how do I know my dish is under 500 cal?
