A simple dump-and-go slow cooker chicken tortilla soup recipe. This hearty and flavorful soup simmers all day in your crockpot and is perfect for a cozy weeknight meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chilies, undrained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can corn, drained
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado, cilantro, tortilla strips

Instructions

  1. Place chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker.
  2. In a bowl, combine crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes and green chilies, black beans, corn, chicken broth, taco seasoning, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  3. Pour the tomato mixture over the chicken in the slow cooker.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  5. Remove chicken from the slow cooker and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the soup.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If the soup is too thin, you can mash some of the beans against the side of the slow cooker or remove a cup of the soup, blend it, and return it to the pot.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For a thicker soup, you can add a can of drained pinto beans or blend about 1 cup of the soup before serving.
  • This soup freezes well. Let it cool completely, then store in airtight containers for up to 3 months.
  • Serve with tortilla strips, shredded cheese, sour cream, diced avocado, and fresh cilantro for the best flavor.
  • This recipe is a great option for meal planning and can be prepared ahead of time.
