Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup

Slow cooker chicken tortilla soup is an easy to make one-pot meal filled with simple and flavorful ingredients! 

Slow cooker chicken tortilla soup is an easy to make one-pot meal filled with simple and flavorful ingredients!

My family recently returned from a weeklong trip to Colorado- what a whirlwind! I learned many things while out west… the most important being that traveling with a baby is a lot of FUN [if you allow his or her schedule be flexible]. I also learned that Colorado has a lot of delicious Mexican restaurants.
From Boulder, to Denver, to Durango, we enjoyed tacos, nachos, quesadillas, and margaritas! One thing I didn’t check off my must-eat Mexican food list was chicken tortilla soup… and I’m craving it- along with the mild mountain weather…

Besides reminding me of our travels out west, this slow cooker chicken tortilla soup is just what the doctor [or any mom orders] when you are looking for a simple and easy weeknight “dump and eat” meal. With many of us in the “thick” of busy days with small children or long work hours, you can’t beat another slow cooker meal to come home to after a long day.

What I love about this recipe is that you can use fresh or frozen veggies and your family’s favorite salsa! If you’re feeling extra crafty in the kitchen, you can certainly chop your own tomatoes + seasonings to replace the canned or jarred salsa, I figure I’ll do that step once the kids are out of the house.

In 20+ years! And don’t worry if you think this slow cooker chicken tortilla soup makes too much. It freezes really well too! So tell me: is this soup one of your favorites too?!
