Low-Point Creamy Chicken Chipotle Soup

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken breast (skinless, no oil)
  • 1 medium onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 cup canned corn (optional — skip to lower points)
  • 1 (14 oz / 400 g) can diced tomatoes
  • 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup unsweetened plain fat-free Greek yogurt
  • 1–2 teaspoons chipotle in adobo sauce, minced
    (use more for spicier flavor — a little goes a long way)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Fresh lime juice (optional)
  • Fresh cilantro or scallions for topping (optional & 0-point)
  • Using fat-free Greek yogurt instead of cream or cheese keeps this extra light.
  • Corn is optional — skipping it may reduce points further.
  • Most versions come out 0–2 points per serving, depending on your program.

Directions

  1. Sauté the veggies (oil-free method).
    Add onion, garlic, and bell pepper to a pot with a splash of  broth.
    Cook 3–4 minutes until softened.
  2. Add flavors.
    Stir in chipotle, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper for ~30 seconds.
  3. Build the soup.
    Add broth, tomatoes, corn (if using), and shredded chicken.
    Simmer 10–12 minutes.
  4. Make it creamy — without points.
    In a small bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt with a few spoonfuls of hot soup.
    Then stir the mixture back into the pot off the heat to prevent curdling.
  5. Finish & serve.
    Add a squeeze of lime and top with cilantro or scallions.
