Fajita Chicken Soup
"This is an adaptation of a soup served at a sports bar where I used to work, in a batch of more manageable (read: non-restaurant) size. You can serve it with tortilla chips. The measurements on seasonings and chopped veggies are approximate--customize to suit your tastes!"

I cooked this using leftover fajitas so I omittedthe seasoning mix, onions and green peppers. I also omitted the cayenne because of personal preference. I added one can of rotel tomatoes. My family really enjoyed it. It made me think more of a dip than a soup. Thanks.
