Mexican Chicken Soup - 4g Carbs, 1g Fiber
From: The South Beach Diet
A bowlful of soup warms up even the chilliest autumn day, and makes a satisfying first course for lunch or dinner. If you love Mexican food, you'll definitely want to make this flavorful chicken soup, spiked with fresh salsa, diced jalapeno pepper, and a little cumin. Substitute shrimp for the chicken when you want to try something different; just add the shrimp when you add the salsa and simmer for 1 minute. If you love fresh cilantro, chop some up and sprinkle it on top.
