Chicken Fajita Soup

I realize that I love chicken, but I promise I cook other things with different meats too! I just had to share this soup. My Dad is huge a fan of it, and he's pretty stubborn about trying new things. He knows what he likes, so why change that? Ha ha.

It's good by itself, or get some French Bread to dip. I love French Bread!
