Slow Cooker Salsa Verde Chicken Soup
Report
The hint of coconut and lime in this hearty chicken soup is incredible! You can throw this soup together in no time at all and then let your slow cooker do the cooking for you.

Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 can (10 ounces) coconut milk
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 jar (12 ounces) salsa verde
- 2 cans (14 ounces, each) great northern beans drained
- 2 cups frozen corn
- 1 can (4 ounces) diced green chiles
- 1 small jalapeño seeded and finely chopped
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- salt & pepper to taste
- juice of ½ a fresh lime or a little more if you’d like
Toppings
- fresh cilantro
- sour cream
- avocado
- tortilla strips or chips
- Cotijo cheese
- sour cream
Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of a greased slow cooker. (I use a 7-quart size crock pot.) Add the coconut milk, broth, salsa verde, beans, corn, green chiles, jalapeño, cilantro, cumin and garlic powder.
- Cover with lid and cook on low heat for 4 to 5 hours, or until the chicken is cooked through. (The internal temperature needs to reach 165 degrees F.)
- Remove chicken and shred, then return it to the slow cooker. Season with salt and pepper and the lime juice. Stir soup to combine everything. Serve in individual bowls and garnish with desired toppings. Enjoy!
Notes
- **My favorite coconut milk and salsa verde both come from Trader Joe’s. I love their reduced fat coconut milk and their salsa verde is so good. But of course, you can use any brands you’d like.I love lots of beans in my soups, so occasionally I will add a third can of beans, it’s totally up to you.If you don’t want too much kick, you can cut back to ½ of a jalapeño. You may want to start with half and if you want more kick, add some more. The coconut milk adds such great flavor, so even if you’re not a fan of coconut, don’t leave it out. My son isn’t a fan and he loves this soup.
