Skinny Chicken Taco Soup with Black Pepper and Sea Salt Crounons

This soup is packed with healthy but hearty ingredients and topped with our Cracked Pepper and Sea Salt Crounons, for a gluten-free, crunchy topping made from quinoa.

Ingredients: 

• 2 tbsp Carrington Farms Coconut and Avocado Cooking Oil Blend 
• 1/2 of a medium red onion, diced
• 2 cloves of garlic, chopped
• 1 large bell pepper, diced
• 2 tbsp taco seasoning, store-bought or homemade
• 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 (14 oz can) fire roasted diced tomatoes
• 1 (14 oz can) black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 (14 oz can) yellow corn, drained
• 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken 
• 4 cups chicken stock
• Carrington Farms Organic Crounons Cracked Pepper and Sea Salt

Directions:

1. Heat Carrington Farms Coconut and Avocado Cooking Oil Blend in a large pot over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes, just until the onions and peppers begin to soften. 
2. Add the taco seasoning, salt, pepper, diced tomatoes, black beans, corn, and rotisserie chicken. Stir to combine. Add the chicken stock and bring to a simmer.
3. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 25-30 min. until the soup has thickened slightly and flavors have melted. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. 

To serve, top each bowl of soup with Carrington Farms Organic Crounons Cracked Pepper and Sea Salt, sliced avocado, and fresh cilantro, if desired.
