This chunky Whole30 Mexican Chicken Soup is packed with shredded chicken, tomatoes, jalapenos and lots of spice! This soup freezes well so make a big batch and freeze for quick dinners. It’s Paleo, Low Carb and Specific Carbohydrate Diet Legal.

Although soup is often reserved for the colder months of fall and winter, this Whole30 Mexican Chicken Soup is one of my favourites to enjoy all year round.

The spicy flavour and filling chicken and veggies make it comforting enough for a cold day, while the broth and healthy ingredients make it light enough for spring and summer.

You can play around with the flavours of the Whole30 Mexican Chicken Soup by increasing or decreasing the amount of lime, paprika or cumin depending on your tastes. I like to top each bowl with diced avocado, red onion, jalapenos, radishes and cilantro. If you don’t have shredded chicken on hand you can place 3 breasts in a pot with enough water just to cover them and then leave it to boil for 20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.

Here are a few other hearty soups that you might enjoy:
