Slow Cooker Creamy Chicken Tortilla Soup
Description
Slow Cooker Creamy Chicken Tortilla Soup begins with placing boneless skinless chicken breasts into a slow cooker filled with chicken broth, canned green chilies, frozen corn, and taco seasoning. Cooking on low for seven hours or high for four develops tender chicken infused with the broth and spices.
Once cooked, the chicken is shredded and returned to the slow cooker along with sour cream and hand-shredded cheddar cheese. Covered and cooked further, the cheese melts into the broth creating a creamy and flavorful soup with a mild spicy kick from the chilies and seasoning.
The soup is typically served topped with crunchy tortilla strips or chips and optionally more cheese and chopped cilantro for freshness. The blend of creamy broth, sweet corn, tender chicken, and crisp toppings offers a balanced texture and comforting taste.
