You might not think you could lose weight while on a eating plan which includes southwestern style chicken lime soup but it can happen. It is crucial to not eat southwestern style chicken lime soup or other high calorie soups every day but in moderation.

This is what I do, I allow myself high calorie food one meal per week. I eat a reduced calorie diet for 6 days of the week, say 1500 to 1800 calories each day, and then 1 day, I eat whatever I like – without going overboard of course.

I have been sticking to this diet for the last month and it has enabled me to lose 5 kilos. I have not accelerated my exercise habits or taken any supplements or diet aids. I have only been careful of what I eat 6 days per week and then eat whatever I feel like one day per week.

I also think it is helpful if you have some support when dieting and for that I registered with the Biggest Loser club. They have several tools to show you how to monitor your progress and achieve your goals.

Southwestern Style Chicken Lime Soup

Posted by Chyrel at recipegoldmine.com on 12/19/2001 11:18 pm

1 (3 pound) chicken, cut into pieces
1 large onion, peeled and quartered
8 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
2 fresh tomatoes, diced
1 large avocado, peeled and diced
1/2 cup finely chopped cilantro
1 or 2 jalape?o peppers, seeded and finely chopped
2 limes, quartered

Optional garnish (omit for low fat or low carb)
5 corn tortillas, cut into thin strips and fried in oil or baked until crisp

Serves 6.

Place the chicken pieces in a large pot with enough water to cover plus an extra inch. Add the onion and garlic, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer covered for 90 minutes.

Remove the soup from the heat and transfer the chicken pieces to a plate. When they have cooled, remove and discard the skin from the chicken. Remove the meat from the bones and cut or shred it into small pieces. Strain the broth through a sieve and return it to the pot. Skim the fat off the surface of the broth and warm over moderate heat. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Chop tomatoes, avocado and jalape?o. Keep chilled until serving time.

If desired, fry or bake tortilla strips.

To serve, divide the chicken meat between six soup bowls. Squeeze a lime wedge over the chicken then ladle the hot broth over the chicken and serve. Serve the chopped tomatoes, avocado and cilantro on the side, allowing guests to "play with their soup" and add garnishes as they see fit.
