Description

Comforting Cajun Chicken Soup is a delicious and hearty dish made with just seven ingredients.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes (canned or fresh)
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1 cup chopped bell peppers
  • 1 cup chopped onions

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken breasts with Cajun seasoning, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  2. In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions, celery, and bell peppers. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until the vegetables soften.

  6. Carefully remove the chicken from the pot and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the soup.
  7. Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more Cajun seasoning for extra spice if desired.
  8. Ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy!
