  3. Pour chicken broth over the ingredients.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until chicken is cooked through and tender.

Notes

  • For a red enchilada soup, use red enchilada sauce instead of crushed tomatoes and diced tomatoes with green chilies.
  • Add cream cheese for a richer, creamier soup.
  • This soup freezes well. Let it cool completely before transferring to freezer-safe containers.
  • Topping ideas include shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado, cilantro, and crushed tortilla chips.
  • This recipe is great for meal planning and can be prepared ahead of time.
