Another recipe from Southern Living’s Rotisserie Chicken Cookbook. Fiesta Chicken Soup. This was by far my favorite!! It had just enough spice and it tasted so good. I had it for lunch for three days in a row and am wishing I made a bigger batch. I really want to make some more and you know what? I think I will do just that!!

The sour cream and cheese toppings made this taste even better. I would truly recommend them, if you like them. This will keep you warm on those chilly days.

    I think I’d substitute the chili-hot beans with something milder and leave out the chiles and just use tomatoes because my family isn’t into spicy – but I love the rest of it, and agree that it would be great for a cold day!

    funny story… this post just made me remember that I had groceries in the trunk of my car because I bought chicken. Good thing it’s freezing outside and it had only been maybe 30 minutes.

    Back to your post. I had no idea what I was going to do with the chicken so now I have the perfect meal for tonight
