This soup is based on my Healthifed Crock Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup, which has been a favorite among my family for a few years now.
The idea for this soup originally sprang into my mind in the midst of the 'Hatch Green Chile' festival that takes place sometime in mid-August. I wanted a 'white' version of the soup that consisted of more of a clear broth base, green chilies, and chicken...
Read MoreThis is a perfect combination of two of my favorites, buffalo chicken and homemade chili!
I decided to go with ground chicken breast to make this more like the traditional 'chili' that I'm used to, but cooked and shredded chicken would probably be just as great.

Yes, I've been downgraded to bathing since I can't get my bandaged foot wet after a minor surgery I had a week ago.
When I registered my 'shower complaint' with the doctor this morning at my post-op check up... he said it was one of his most common fusses.
Thankfully I haven't had much physical pain. Just the nuisance of not being able to get around very well...
Read MoreI've been preparing for my foot surgery that will have already taken place by the time this is posted, and in the process of meal planning I found myself really wanting to make a soup.
I know, it sounds crazy! It's 100+ degrees F. in Texas and I want soup. But, I was craving some comfort food that would be easy for me to deal with in the process of getting surgery-ready and then healing...
