What is Fit Foodie Cooking Club?

The Fit Foodie Cooking Club is a monthly cooking challenge to get you in the kitchen cooking from scratch! We thought there was no better way to bring our virtual community together than to all make the same recipe each month to celebrate real food.

February 2023 – The Details

Read the below details VERY carefully as we want to make sure your entry counts! If you have questions, please leave them in the comments of this post. Fit Foodie Cooking Club

Recipe of the Month: Slow cooker chicken tortilla soup

This 5-star slow cooker chicken tortilla soup has been a Fit Foodie fave for years, so we decided it was about time we made her a cooking club recipe! This is such a great soup for SO many reasons. You’ll absolutely love it 😀

All About Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup

Ingredients You’ll Need

This chicken tortilla soup comes topped with crispy spicy tortilla strips. And don’t skip the toppings, obviously 😀 Here’s what you need: Serve a crowd, or freeze leftovers for later. So many vegetables in every serving.

For the Soup

Crushed tomatoes Canned black beans Canned pinto beans Sweet corn Green chiles Bell peppers Yellow onion Garlic Chili powder Ground cumin Paprika Garlic powder Coarse salt Hot sauce Chicken broth Chicken breasts Greek yogurt Lime juice

Spicy Tortilla Strips

Corn tortillas Avocado oil Garlic powder Chili powder Paprika Ground cumin Kosher salt

Optional Toppings

Fresh cilantro Chopped avocado Sour cream Shredded cheese Sliced jalapeños

a few tips

Make it spicier: our recipe only calls for 2 tablespoons of hot sauce, but if you like things hot hot hot, feel free to up the hot sauce to 3 tablespoons (or more!). Make it creamier: the 1/4 cup of Greek yogurt that this recipe calls for will give you a slightly creamy consistency. Feel free to increase this to 1/2 cup or use sour cream for an even creamier soup. Choose your cut of chicken: if for whatever reason you don’t want to use chicken breasts, boneless thighs will also work. Just be mindful it may change the cook time. Make sure to cook the chicken to an internal temperature of 165ºF.

Charity of the Month

Each month we select a different charity to support. This month we’re supporting the NAACP who works to disrupt inequality, dismantle racism, and accelerate change in key areas including criminal justice, health care, education, climate, and the economy. NAACP’s mission is to ensure the political, educational, equality of minority group citizens of States and eliminate race prejudice. The NAACP works to remove all barriers of racial discrimination through democratic processes. We’ll be doubling the match from our giveaway winners to donate $400 to the NAACP.
