Healthify your fiesta with this smoky Slow-Cooker chicken tortilla soup! This is perfect for any season and is a great lunch option!

Slow-Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup. Perfect for any season! via @DashOfEvansI’m told you I’ll be coming back with more soup this month! This one is by far my favorite right now–I just love Mexican food. Although there’s tortilla chips in it, I love how healthy this is. I can have this as a filling lunch or pair with a salad/sandwich for dinner. To keep it lighter, you can make your own baked tortilla chips.

Exactly 12 years ago today, I started working at Smokey Bones BBQ. It was the day after my 21st birthday (I was in greaaaat shape) and I met a bartender named Ricky. He said “hello!” and I rolled my eyes. Not quite love at first sight. I started working there during my year off of college to get residency. In-state tuition > Out of state–riight?!

During the day, I worked at Marshall Fields in guest services and I would rush to Smokey Bones at night. I barely had time to eat, so after my shift I would always get my dinner to go. They had the BEST chicken tortilla soup, which I would pair with a sandwich. Pre-bar sustenance. Looking back on those days, I’m shocked I survived–and I’m glad social media wasn’t around yet! Slow-Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup. Perfect for any season! via @DashOfEvansFor years, I was on a mission to find a tortilla soup comparable and I finally made it myself! This soup couldn’t be easier: just dump everything into the slow-cooker and enjoy later in the day. To store, mason jars are perfect with reusable lids. SO easy to reheat.

Servings: 8 -10 Cups of soup
Ingredients
  • 1 pound of cooked chicken , shredded
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1 large onion
  • 1 zucchini , quartered
  • 1 red bell pepper , chopped
  • 3 cloves of garlic , minced
  • 2 chipotles in adobo , finely chopped
  • 28 oz can of fire roasted tomatoes (use 2 small cans, if necessary)
  • 8 oz tomato sauce
  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon Tajin clasico spice
  • Favorite tortilla chips
  • Optional toppers: cheese , avocado, sour cream, green onions, cilantro, lime wedges
Instructions
  1. Add everything to slow cooker, aside from tortilla chips.
  2. Cook High: 4 hours, LOW 6-8 hours.
  3. In a soup bowl, crush up a handful of chips, pour soup over chips.
  4. Add lime and other optional toppers!

Heads up: if you’re afraid the chipotles in adobo will be too spicy, feel free to leave them out. They’re a smoked jalapeno, but have more of a smoky flavor than spice.

    Just made this for the trillionth time. I forgot to get tomato sauce one time, but had enchilada sauce and forgot to get a red pepper one time, but had a can of chilies so I put them in and have been doing it ever since, since enchilada sauce and canned chilies are a staple in our house. We love it and is one of our regulars that we make all year round. Thanks for this delicious recipe.
