Weight Watchers Green Chile Chicken Enchilada Soup

We love to make big batches of yummy soups to eat for easy and satisfying meals during cooler months.  One of our favorite soups in the past has been a chicken enchilada or chicken tortilla soup, but wanted to see what we could do to make it a bit less fattening and still satisfying.  This Weight Watchers Green Chile Chicken Enchilada Soup is a great substitute and comes in at only 3 points per bowl.  That is a hearty portion too!  Not only is it packed full of flavor, but it is so easy and simple to make you won't believe it.  We are working hard to continue eating as much organic as possible, and this recipe is a perfect one to showcase how tasty organic produce can be.

If you like making meals ahead and freezing them, or simply enjoy the ease of using your Crockpot for evening meals then you'll love this one.  Not only is it a great make ahead and freeze soup, it is perfect for tossing into the crockpot and letting simmer all day.  While the flavors are great in this, it doesn't offer that heat punch you think of when you hear the words green chile or peppers.  It is a favorite of the Wee Child and is truly kid-friendly.

Tip:  If you make a lot of chicken, you may want to invest in Zaycon Foods great deals on 40-pound boxes of chicken breasts. These are high-quality chicken breasts that are antibiotic free.
