Make this comforting, creamy chicken tortilla soup with minimal effort using your slow cooker. It is a simple, dump-and-go recipe perfect for a family weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can corn, drained
  • 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chilies, undrained
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 packet (1 ounce) taco seasoning mix
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, cut into cubes
  • 1 cup heavy cream or sour cream (added at the end)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken breasts, black beans, corn, diced tomatoes and green chilies, cream of chicken soup, diced green chilies, chicken broth, and taco seasoning into the basin of your slow cooker.
  2. Stir the ingredients gently to combine.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and easily shredded.
  4. Remove the chicken breasts from the slow cooker and place them on a cutting board. Shred the chicken using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.
  5. Add the cubed cream cheese to the soup. Stir until the cream cheese has completely melted and the soup is creamy. This may take about 15 minutes on the high setting with the lid off.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream or sour cream. Season with salt and pepper to your taste.
  7. Serve hot with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • For the best flavor, use low-sodium chicken broth.
  • If you want a thicker soup, remove about 1 cup of the liquid before adding the cream, mix in 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, and then return it to the slow cooker.
  • Shredded cooked chicken freezes well, so you can make a double batch for future easy meals.
  • Serve with toppings like avocado, cilantro, crushed tortilla chips, and shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
