This Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup is filled with tender chicken, diced tomatoes, corn, black beans, and a combination of spices. With hardly any prep work involved, this flavorful meal will quickly become a household favorite!

As I was prepping the ingredients for this Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup, it was a white, winter wonderland of snow outside my window.

Kinda fitting for a slow cooker meal, right?

Now, snow and I don’t necessarily mix, as I would much rather be somewhere warm than freezing cold. But, I have to admit that I do love watching snow fall. As long as I can stay warm from inside my house. There’s just something cozy about snow and a good slow cooker dish to warm you right up.

And while I use my slow cooker year round, it just feels extra special to use it in the winter. And when I can prep a meal on a lazy weekend and let it work its magic, it sounds even better.

It just so happens that tortilla soup is one of my favorites. The hubster and I adore Mexican food, and whenever we go to one of our favorite spots, they always serve us a bowl of their homemade chicken tortilla soup. It’s smooth, creamy, and definitely hits the spot…especially when paired with some chips and salsa!

This Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup is filled with tender chicken, diced tomatoes, corn, black beans, and a combination of spices. With hardly any prep work involved, this flavorful meal will quickly become a household favorite!

So when I was thinking of a new dish to prepare, this Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup immediately came to mind. You all know that soup and I share a special love affair (see here, here and here), so it was just a matter of time before this recipe came into play.

This Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup is filled with tender chicken, diced tomatoes, corn, black beans, and a combination of spices. With hardly any prep work involved, this flavorful meal will quickly become a household favorite!

This soup is filled with zesty flavors and simmered to perfection. I used two medium chicken breasts, chicken broth, two cans of diced tomatoes with green chilies, black beans, corn, and some spices for that perfect broth. It results in a warm and comforting dish, filled with just the right amount of flavor.

One bite and the hubster and I were hooked. The flavor isn’t overly spicy, and the seasonings blend together perfectly. Pair it was some tender, shredded chicken, and this soup was perfection.

If you’re looking for an easy slow cooker dish, then this chicken tortilla soup was made for you! Simply add all of the ingredients to the slow cooker, stir, and walk away. That’s it! About 10 minutes before the soup is done, you’ll remove the chicken breasts, shred, and then return to the slow cooker to warm up. It really can’t get much easier than that!

So if you’re craving a slow cooker dish that’s full of flavor and simple to prepare, this Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup is it! Fast, easy and perfect for lazy weekends or busy weeknights, you’ll love the zesty flavors and tender chicken. Top it with some diced avocado, shredded cheese, and crunchy tortilla strips…perfection in a bowl!

    Chicken tortilla soup is a BIG favorite of mine, but the one thing I never loved about it was all the prep time involved. And now you basically made it completely hands-off by using the crockpot! So gonna try this one---I may or may not share with my family. ;)

    I love watching snow fall, to me it's hypnotizing... and even if it's dreary out, the reflection of the snow on the ground makes it appear to be beautiful outside. Snow makes me happy... but not FEET of snow... I'm good with a couple inches. ;) Anyways, LOVE this soup! Anything tex-mex makes me giddy and my belly is totally craving a bowl of this easy deliciousness pronto... with a bucket of chips and salsa! So good! Pinned! Cheers, friend!

    Even though our winters can get pretty bad, I am still not fond of the cold weather either. Some hot soup is just the cure for that. This looks so comforting and delicious, Gayle! We are on a big soup kick lately since we got sick a few weeks ago and tortilla and enchilada soup are among our favorites! Love that you made this in the slow cooker too!
