Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup

Submitted by: OUKATIE
Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup

Introduction

This is an adaptation of my favorite chicken tortilla soup recipe. If you have the calories to spare, make some tortilla chips in the oven to eat with the soup and top with a bit of sour cream, cheese, avocado and anything else you like! It is very flavorful on it's own, though. Be sure to use high-quality enchilada sauce, as some brands can be greasy. I like to add other veggies in sometimes, such as carrots and squash.

Number of Servings: 8

Ingredients

    3 raw boneless, skinless chicken breasts
    1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes
    1 (10 ounce) can enchilada sauce
    1 medium onion, chopped
    1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chile peppers
    3 cloves garlic, minced
    2 cups water
    1 (14.5 ounce) can 99% fat-free chicken broth
    1 TBSP cumin
    1 TBSP chili powder
    1 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon black pepper
    1 bay leaf
    1 (10 ounce) package frozen corn
    1 tablespoon chopped cilantro

Directions

Combine all ingredients in a large slow cooker. Stir to combine. Cook on high 4-6 hours or low 6-8 hours.

Remove chicken from soup and shred. Return chicken to soup, stir, and serve.

We like things spicy and flavorful, so I also add in a dash or two of cayenne.

Number of Servings: 8

    SO GOOD! And a crowd pleaser, even people not watching their waist line LOVE this! I like to add a can of pinto beans, just to add some more bite and nutrition. - 2/19/12

    Fantastic recipe! Will definitely be making it again soon! I took out the water and added extra chicken broth, 1 can of black beans, 1c chopped green pepper, 2 stalks of chopped celery, and 2tsp of Tony Cachere's Creole seasoning. Garnished with crushed tortilla chips and low-fat sour cream. Yummm! - 1/13/11

    Super Yummy! I too tweaked just a tad....El Pato in lieu of the enchilada sauce,black beans,celery,carrots and nixed the chili and bay. Served it with tortilla strips, ff sour cream and cheese... but just a tad as this is awesome on it's own!! My family will enjoy this one regularly!! - 1/25/10

    Very simple and tasty. I used diced tomatoes with onions and garlic then cut back how much garlic i added. I also didn't have broth so i used stock instead. This one is a keeper and there is a lot of leftovers. - 2/25/13

    Really good. Made it on the stove came out fine.Just sauteed the onion until soft and translucent added garlic dumped everything else in, and made it come to a boil then put on simmer for 1 hour so everything can meld together. And i added cayenne pepper instead of black. - 8/11/12

    My husband and I love this recipe. I make it all the time. I have adjusted it tho, I only use 2 chicken breasts. I serve with tortilla strips and shredded cheddar cheese... but that is not included in the nutrition. - 6/26/12

    Delicious! I don't have access to some of my kitchen right now, so made a few substitutions--all chicken broth, taco seasoning packet instead of the different spices (plus extra garlic/crushed red pepper), and 2 cans of tomatoes w/green chiles. Garnished w/crumbled salsa flavored rice chips. Yum! - 1/26/12

    Entire family loves this! But...nutrition info is wrong! Everything but chicken is correct. This calls for three boneless, skinless breasts, but in the recipe breakdown, it says 8oz! I added 3 SMALL bnlss, sknlss, hand trimmed breasts at 36.5 oz. This changes the total calorie count to 180.6 for 1/8 - 5/6/13

    I wasn't sure how this would turn out, but I'm a believer now! ;) My changes: did not add the extra salt..totally not needed and I think it would be too salty. Added a can of black and kidney beans--great addition! My husband typically doesn't like soup or spicy, but he loved this. Will make again! - 1/6/13

    OMG! This is fantastic! I used a rotisserie chicken and shredded it and added it to the pot. I omitted the salt, only used a half of can of Enchilada sauce and added an extra can of diced tomatoes instead! I also added a large can of rinsed and drained white hominy to make it more authentic! YUM! - 11/18/12

    Outstanding recipe! I added leeks, low-fat salsa, Northwoods seasoning; substituted Penzeys minced onion and garlic, and roasted corn; and omitted the green chiles. Will add black beans and carrots or froz Mexican blend veggies next time. Finished with a tablespoon of fat-free sour cream. - 3/19/12

    This soup tastes even better as leftovers. I added more bullion and water as the soup is really dense and makes it last longer. Great on cold winter days! - 2/3/12
