Ingredients:

• 1 lb chicken breast, cubed
• 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
• 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 1 bell pepper (any color), diced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions:

1. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, sautéing until soft, about 5 minutes.

4. Add the heavy cream, stirring well to combine. Allow the soup to heat through, about 5 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Serve warm, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired.
