My very talented friend Gina Homolka from Skinnytaste.com has just published a cookbook filled to the brim with recipes like today’s Slow Cooker Chicken Enchilada Soup, that are bursting with flavor, yet light and healthy.

The Skinnytaste Cookbook is a collection of 150 recipes, 125 new dishes + 25 favorites from Gina’s blog, that will wow your tastebuds while keeping you on the straight and narrow.
Each recipe offers extra cooking and preparation tips, plus the nutritional facts to help make your weight-loss journey simple.
Skinnytaste.com started with Gina’s personal journey to shed a few extra pounds and has grown into an online force, helping millions of readers eat well, while eating well.
The Skinnytaste Cookbook was the #1 preordered book on Amazon and continues to be the #1 diet-related cookbook sold online.
After flipping through the gorgeous pages of The Skinnytaste Cookbook I settled on Slow Cooker Chicken Enchilada Soup, as my first recipe to try.
I love slow cooker recipes like this, that you can throw in the crockpot and forget for a while.
The combination of smoky chipotle peppers, black beans, shredded chicken, and spicy tomato broth makes this Slow Cooker Chicken Enchilada Soup a recipe I will serve again and again.
In fact, my kids asked if they could eat the leftovers, which is something that never happens in my house.
You can find The Skinnytaste Cookbook on Amazon, on Barnes&Noble.com, and at most bookstores.
Gina’s brilliant book is a saving-grace for those of us watching our weight, while still wanting to enjoy the dishes we love!

This may be my new favorite soup! I followed the recipe as written, refrigerated overnight and heated some for lunch today. Out of this world, even without the toppings. I crumbled a few baked tortilla chips to my bowl just to add a little crunch. Highly recommend!
This chicken enchilada soup is the best! I’ve gotten so many compliments on it! Making it again as I type! Thanks for sharing!
This soup looks fantastic! I cant wait to get Gina’s book :)
Made this exactly as the book called for, and it was delicious…even better the next day. Great recipe and the cookbook is beautiful!

Holy yum, I can’t wait to try this! We always do Friday Night – Mexican night and I tend to order their chicken tortilla soup, but it’s NOT cheap and it’s surely not calorie conscious. I can’t wait to try this at home! Mmmm :)
Hahaha – I read the first line of your post ” There’s nothing better than a warm comforting bowl of soup.” – and I thought — YESSS!! Then I read “Well… maybe one thing.
