Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup
Description
This Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup combines a base of chicken broth, red enchilada sauce, and cream of chicken soup with aromatics including diced onion and minced jalapeño. Chicken breasts cook slowly for eight hours, allowing the flavors to deepen and the chicken to become tender enough to shred easily.
After shredding the chicken, chopped cilantro is stirred in for added freshness. The soup gains creamy richness from the cream of chicken soup, balanced by the tangy and mildly spicy enchilada sauce. The minced jalapeño adds subtle heat without overwhelming.
It is served immediately topped with diced avocado, jalapeño slices, shredded cheese, and crunchy baked tortilla strips, giving each serving a variety of textures and flavors from creamy and mild to spicy and crisp. This soup works well as a comforting meal for cooler days or whenever a flavorful, warming soup is desired.
