Ingredients
- 60g Shredded chicken breast, meat only
- 2 oz Low fat cottage cheese
- 1 oz Fresh Mozzarella cheese
- 2 oz Salsa for enchiladas
- Fresh cilantro (optional)
Directions
- Dice the yellow squash into bite-size pieces. Put a medium-sized pot over medium heat. Add the diced yellow squash. Sauté for a few minutes until it starts to soften.
- Sprinkle in the low-sodium vegetable stock, allowing it to coat the vegetables with a savory essence. Then pour in the bone broth, which will serve as the hearty base of your soup. Let the mixture come to a gentle simmer and allow it to cook for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Remove the pot from heat and let it cool slightly. Once it’s safe to handle, use an immersion blender to carefully blend the mixture until it reaches a smooth consistency. Strain it to remove any texture.
- Return the pot to low heat. Gently stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt, allowing it to seamlessly incorporate into the soup. This step will not only add creaminess but also infuse the soup with a hint of tangy richness.
- Sprinkle in a pinch of salt
- Enjoy every spoonful!
