Creamy Chicken Fajita Soup

September 20, 2019 by Kristin 12 Comments

This Creamy Chicken Fajita Soup is simple to make and packed with flavor! Shredded chicken, diced peppers, cream cheese, onion, and seasonings combined into a meal everyone will enjoy!

Typically, I make a recipe, post a sneak peek on my Instagram story, and within about a week, try to get it posted on the blog. This recipe however created such a buzz and I had several requests for it to be shared, so I did a quick turn around!

Yesterday, Houston had some crazy rain (thanks to Hurricane Imelda) and I was pretty much house bound. No flooding here luckily, but there was flooding around our area, driving conditions weren’t great, and all extra curricular activities were cancelled after school.

Since it is rare to have all three kids home in the evening, I took the opportunity to make a hearty pot of soup. I tossed everything together mid afternoon and let the soup simmer for a few hours. If you’re in a hurry, this soup can be enjoyed in about 25 minutes, no need to simmer.

Not only did my house smell wonderful, but this soup was a HUGE hit. As in, we ate the entire pot! Yep….scraped clean! Impressive, right?

I serve ours with some tortillas on the side and fresh fruit, however, a side salad is a great option too!

Add some toppings of your choice to really change this up! We served ours with chopped cilantro, cheddar cheese, and sour cream.

With Fall weather heading our way, this is the perfect meal to make for good ol’ comfort food! Shredded chicken, diced peppers/onions, and cream cheese combined into a creamy, flavorful soup that will impress all!

Enjoy and be sure to let me know what you think! You can check out my other soup recipes here!
