Many people are looking to improve their health by eliminating wheat, corn, and/or dairy from their diets. I have been experimenting with recipes that are free of wheat, corn, and dairy for several years. I've created "Ideal Ingredients" to share not only what I have learned, but also to share a delicious and healthy way of eating!

Special Note: If you are also avoiding eggs, you may substitute the following for 1 egg in my baked goods recipes.
1 egg = 1/3 cup applesauce OR 1/4 cup mashed banana OR 1 T ground flaxseed + 3 T water

Faijita Chicken Soup

This soup will warm you up on a cold, winter's night. Delicious grilled chicken mixed with onions, peppers, and tomatoes in a flavorful broth will have your family asking for more. I'm not kidding!

 Ingredients
1 T olive oil
1/2 yellow onion, chopped
1 jalepeno pepper, seeded and diced
5 tomatoes, diced
1 (15 oz) can dark red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
4 cups water
3 grilled chicken breasts, diced
1/2 cup salsa verde
1/2 t cumin
1/2 t garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded

Directions
Heat olive oil on medium heat in the bottom of a large soup pot. Add onion, jalepeno, tomatoes, and 1 cup of the water. Lightly puree mixture with a handheld blender, leaving some chunks. Add the rest of the water, beans, salsa, chicken, and spices. Let soup simmer for 30-45 minutes. Stir in cheese before serving. Garnish with tortilla chips, sour cream, chopped green onion, and avocado.
