I can’t get enough of this crockpot chicken tortilla soup because of how flavorful it is! Made with a medley of seasonings and spices like cumin, oregano and paprika, each bite is more mouthwatering than the last. It’s also a great way to sneak in veggies if you have any picky eaters in the house. The corn and green pepper blend into this soup seamlessly.
Wanna heat things up even more? Cayenne pepper and red pepper flakes work wonderfully in this soup! Just toss them in with the other ingredients at the beginning of the process. A drizzle of your favorite hot sauce on top also works well!
How to Freeze
This soup freezes well! I recommend leaving the tortilla strips out until you’re ready to serve it, but you can freeze the soup in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating. When you’re ready to serve it, reheat it either in the microwave, or back in the Crockpot for the best results. Simply place the Crockpot on a low setting and allow it to reheat for about an hour.
How to Make Crockpot Chicken Tortilla Soup Step by Step
Prep the Chicken: Place 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the bottom of the crockpot, add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, and toss the chicken to coat it in the oil so it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the crockpot. Cook the Soup: Add 32 ounces (1 container) of chicken broth, 24 ounces (1 large jar) of salsa, 15.25 ounces (1 can) of black beans, ½ cup of chopped onion, ½ cup of chopped green bell pepper, 1 tablespoon of taco seasoning, and 15.25 ounces (1 can) of corn. Stir to combine. Cook on low for 5-6 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. Shred the Chicken: Remove the chicken breast and using bear claws, or a fork, shred the chicken before adding it back to the soup. Serve with 8 ounces of shredded Monterey Jack cheese and 7 ounces of tortilla strips.
