This recipe is the perfect companion to any diet. It is a giant pot of protein and filling vegetables. The best part of this dish: it is made in the slow cooker.

- 2 Jars of Salsa
- 1 Packet Reduced-Sodium Taco Seasoning (or 2 TBSP)

- Juice from 1 Lime

Notes:
- Add the chicken broth to thin the soup.
- Top with whatever you please or what your diet allows. I like cilantro and cheese.
- Add nonfat plain greek yogurt right before serving for a “sour cream” taste
- You can also add brown rice, quinoa, or black beans
