Easy Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup

November 14, 2018

Soup... you know you want it. And a flavorful Chicken Tortilla Soup is just the ticket. Make it as mile or spicy as you want.


Soup is on!  Seriously, it’s soup season right? The temps have dipped and the evenings are quite chilly. And I just love making soup in my slow cooker. This chicken tortilla soup is the stuff that dreams are made of. Hearty, flavorful and perfect for fall temps.

Mexican, Spanish and all the Latin american and Hispanic food flavors are my jam. There’s just something about it that I really enjoy. Whether it be a simple taco or a complicated casserole, it’s always a hit with me.

I made a batch of this for a family dinner a couple of weeks ago and it was gobbled up. And shredding was easy using my KitchenAid mixer. Just add the cooked chicken breasts to the mixer bowl, pop on the beater blade, cover the bowl (cuz it can get messy) and turn the speed to 4. A minute later, shredded chicken with little effort.

Top your bowl with sour cream, tortilla strips and some chopped avocado for flavor and color. Or load it up with chopped fresh jalapeno for some serious kick.
