This Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup is a family favorite meal in our house now. This soup is loaded with flavor and is so healthy!
Yes I’ve been making a lot of Mexican inspired dishes lately.
In a hurry? Watch the 60 second recipe video below to learn how to make this! ↓
Ever since I got back from my cruise to Mexico, I’ve just been craving more and more Mexican food.
I’ve been back for well over a month now and still have to edit my photos from the trip, ugh! I have like a billion pictures that are sitting in Lightroom just staring back at me… Ok my goal this week is to get those edited so I can create a new travel post for you all!
This was actually my first time making Chicken Tortilla Soup. I had ordered it in a Mexican restaurant and instantly fell in love with this warm bowl of deliciousness!
When I came home I knew I had to learn how to make this.
I decided to try this in my Slow Cooker because I like how easy cooking in a Slow Cooker is. Anytime I can throw everything in one pot and have a fully cooked meal in a few hours is a good thing. 🙂
I used a 6 quart Slow Cooker for this, adding in Chicken Broth, Chicken Breasts, Beans, Salsa, Corn, Green Onions, and Seasonings (full printable recipe listed below). If you made my homemade Taco Seasoning then just use 2 Tbs of this, it is equal to all of the seasonings listed in the recipe.
Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours. About 30 minutes before it’s done cooking I took out the Chicken and shredded it with a fork, then added it back into the soup.
I like to top this soup with homemade Corn Tortilla Chips.
I also like to use fresh Avocado slices, Cilantro, and Green Onions.
This is so versatile, you can top it with whatever your favorite toppings are. You could use Sour Cream, Cheese, or even more Salsa if you wanted to spice it up even more!
The best part about making this soup is the leftovers! This makes about 6-8 servings.
