Green Chili, Sausage, & Shrimp Comfort Pot
- 8 ounces turkey sausage, thinly sliced
- 1 red onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 (15 ounce) can corn, drained
- 1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
- 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 6 cups chicken broth, fat free
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled
- 12 cup green chili, roasted, peeled, seeded
- 12 teaspoon cumin
- 12 cup cilantro, cleaned and chopped
- salt, to taste
- pepper, to taste
- Bring a soup pot to a medium high heat and spray with some cooking spray.
- Add onion.
- Cook for about 1-2 minutes and add bell peppers.
- Cook for another 1-2 minutes and season with salt and pepper.
- Add sausage and garlic.
- Cook until sausage is no longer pink (about 3-4 minutes).
- Add tomatoes, corn, and green chilis.
- Season with another layer of salt and pepper.
- Add cumin.
- Cook for 1 minute.
- Add chicken broth (I prefer homemade chicken stock, but when I am trying to go for low fat, I'm afraid that I didn't get ALL the fat skimmed off my own so I opt for the canned broth).
- Add another layer of salt and pepper to your taste.
- Bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, cover and reduce heat to a simmer for about 15-20 minutes.
- Stir occasionally.
- Remove the lid, and grate the potatoes directly into the pot.
- The grated potatoes will add texture and thicken the stew with no added fat but some good for you fiber.
- Stir and continue simmering until pot has thickened.
- Feel free to add more or less potato to get your desired thickness.
- You can also substitute the potato with instant potato flakes.
- Add the shrimp, and continue to simmer for just a few minutes until the shirmp are pink.
- It should only take them 3-4 minutes to cook through.
- Do not bring back up to a boil or over cook -- this will make the shrimp rubbery.
- Turn off the heat and add 1/4 cup cilantro.
- Use the other 1/4 cup of cilantro to serve.
- If you are a points counter, my ingredients came out to about 4-5 points per 3/4 cup serving.
- Yummy!
