Chicken Soup
 

Mom's Magic Chicken Soup

3 to 31/2-pound whole chicken
1 medium chopped onion
2 ribs celery, chopped
Several sliced carrots (add the amount that your carb level dictates)
2 15-ounce cans stewed tomatoes, chopped
4-ounce can chopped green chilies
1 clove garlic
1 package taco seasoning
Sour cream
Shredded Cheddar cheese

Place chicken in a large soup pot and cover with water. Add 1/2 chopped
onion and celery and cook for 1 hour. Remove chicken. Strain liquid to
obtain a clear broth, then return broth to the pot. Add the remaining
chopped onion, sliced carrots, stewed tomatoes, chopped green chilies,
garlic and taco seasoning to the broth. Bone chicken, then add it to the
soup. Cook until vegetables are soft. Garnish servings with sour
cream and shredded Cheddar cheese.
