During the insane weekend of snow here in “Chi-beria” it was the perfect time to whip out one of my favorite recipes. Requiring only minimal effort, this nutrient dense “soup” gives you a salivating tongue and a satiated belly.

I am a big fan of Trader Joe’s because of their small selection. Things are easy to find, and there are many quick-fix-ins that, put together, can make a meal masterpiece. Roasted Red Pepper Chimichurri Chicken Soup will be one of the greatest things you make. It is a 3 ingredient, dump and done, recipe that tastes oh so good on a cold, Chicago night. Here is what you will need….

Serves 4-5 (depending on how hungry you are):

  • 5-2 packages of Trader Joe’s Tomato and Roasted Red Pepper Soup
  • 1 bag of Trader Joe’s Chimichurri Rice
  • 2lbs of chicken breast (cooked)

Directions:

  1. Dump all ingredients in a large pot
  2. Put pot on stove at medium heat
  3. Once the soup comes to a simmer, reduce heat to low and cover
  4. Keep on low for 3-4 hours (for extra flavor)

*Serve with fresh cilantro and avocado slices

This is one of those recipes that tastes even better the next day. Don’t be afraid to make extra batches for lunches and/or dinners for the week. Enjoy!
