Slow Cooker Chicken Enchilada Soup
Description
The recipe starts by layering boneless skinless chicken breasts in the slow cooker and seasoning them with chili powder, cumin, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Corn kernels, black beans, diced onion, and red bell pepper add texture and sweetness. Canned diced tomatoes and red enchilada sauce combine with chicken broth to create a richly flavored cooking liquid. Cooking on low for 6 to 8 hours or high for 4 hours thoroughly cooks and tenderizes the chicken. The meat is then shredded with forks, turning the soup into a thick, satisfying meal. Optional toppings such as cheese, avocado, cilantro, tortilla strips, and sour cream allow customization at serving. This recipe is convenient for slow cooker meal prep and offers a comforting, richly spiced soup with a Mexican-inspired profile.
