Slow Cooker Chicken Enchilada Soup

by aimee @ shugarysweets on August 21, 2012


No matter the weather, I love using my slow cooker.

I also love making soup.

Especially soup that can be made in the slow cooker. WIN!



School is starting here on Thursday, and this is the perfect weeknight meal.
This soup is a bit healthier than my other varieties, I didn’t put any cheese or cream IN the soup. Yes, I sprinkled some on at the end, along with some southwest tortilla strips. 

But c’mon. Don’t you just want to take a big bite?

Those bowls look AWESOME and satisfying! I’ve never tried making an enchilada soup and I know it would instantly be a household favorite! ;)

Since I just got home from work this gave me the perfect idea for dinner… Enchilada Soup from Chili’s… will have to do until I can make this.

I just ate dinner but my tummy just rumbled. This sounds SO good. I can’t wait for it to cool off here – because this is going into my repertoire for sure!

I’m starting to not trust the slow cooker. The last few dishes I’ve made have been bland.

If you can’t get enchilada sauce, what do you recommend we use?

Now, normally I’m anti-slurping, but there’s nothing I’d want more than to slurp this soup down! It looks so amazing and I love that picture of the bite with all those yummy black beans and chicken and corn. Delish!

Aimee, this looks awesome! I love making soup in my slow-cooker, and this enchilada version sounds amazing. I’m a sucker for anything Mexican-food related–we’ll definitely be making this recipe this fall!

I’ve been dying to make tortilla soup lately- especially after my honeymoon in Mexico where we ate it almost every day! This one looks delicious! And also, I need a slow cooker!

Yummy! It reminds me of a soup I ate by the gallon when I worked at Cracker Barrel. And I am addicted to my crockpot.

Thanks

Is the minced onion “dried” or “fresh?” Thank you! Looks like a great recipe.
