BBQ Chicken Pizza Soup

I have been on a bit of a cilantro kick lately. 

It is really a delicious addition to a lot of recipes.

I bought a bunch of cilantro when I tried making Thai Chicken Pizza, which was beyond yummy!, and I did not want to waste what I had left, so I tried some other recipes that called for cilantro.  I am really falling in love with the stuff.

One of the recipes I tried was BBQ Chicken Pizza soup.  When I found this recipe, I thought is sounded sort of intriguing and good at the same time.  I am so glad I tried it.  Our whole group liked it.

It was really good.  I mean really good.  I scooped out mostly "the stuff" for my little beanes and they all liked it.  Even String beane at it, which was nothing short of a miracle. 



I found the original recipe here, and altered it just a tad.

You should really make this for yourself.  It is so good!

Ingredients

2 Tablespoons oil

1 medium onion, finely chopped

2 Tablespoons minced garlic

11 oz can corn with peppers, drained

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded.  I baked mine in the oven.

1 1/2 Cups Chicken Broth

1/2 Cup BBQ Sauce

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon Garlic Salt

1/2 Cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped

Directions

Heat oil into a medium pot over medium heat.  When hot, saute onions for 5 minutes or until softened.  Stir in garlic, corn and chicken breast; mix to combine.  Pour in chicken broth, BBQ sauce, salt, pepper, garlic salt and cilantro leaves.   Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes or until ready to serve.  Garnish each bowl with a fresh sprig of cilantro.

This serves 4-6 people. 

Here is a picture a little bit closer up. 

This soup is also pretty low fat and calories.  All in all, a great soup for those of  us not doing so good on our New Year's resolutions! KWIM?
