This Crock Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup is the perfect way to have dinner ready when everyone arrives home.
Making soup in the crock pot is one of our favorite ways to use it. This Crock Pot Tomato Basil Soup is another favorite and this Slow Cooker Chicken Tortellini Soup is delish. Slow Cooker Chipotle Butternut Squash Soup has amazing flavor.
The nights are definitely getting colder here in the Pacific Northwest and that means it’s soup season! Is there anything better than a nice warm bowl of homemade soup on a chilly night?
Getting dinner on the table is so easy with this crock pot soup. Just fill up the crockpot in the morning and let it cook away on low all day long. Your house is going to smell amazing and dinner is going to be easy and delicious.
Today’s recipe is the perfect meal for those crazy busy and chilly days. It is literally an dump and go meal. Put everything except for the chicken into the crock pot and let it cook on high for about 4-5 hours or low for 6-8 hours.
The chicken is added in 30 minutes before you want to serve the soup. Just so it would heat through. I don’t like to have the chicken in there the whole time because I think it changes the texture of the chicken and makes it tough.
My favorite ways to cook chicken:
So just throw everything but the chicken into the crock pot, turn it on and leave!! So easy!
What to put on Chicken Tortilla Soup
We love to add:
- Grated Cheese
- Black Olives
- Green Onions
- Sour Cream
- Tortilla Chips. The chips can be used as a thickening agent too, if you want a thicker soup, crush up the chips and stir them into the soup.
- Sliced Avocado
This Crock Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup is full of amazing flavor and such an easy way to get dinner on the table! Dress it up however you like.

My husband and I had it tonight, and it was yummy! So nice to throw together at lunch, go back to work, and come home to a finished dinner. Used a can of the roasted tomatoes and thought it was a nice touch. Thanks for the recipe!

We tried this for dinner tonight. I was a little worried with my uber picky eaters that we would be finding something as a back up. THEY LOVED IT. Thank you so much for sharing.

I made this soup this weekend, and it was fabulous! I had some leftover grilled chicken to put in it, which i just threw in in the last 30 minutes or so. Wonderful recipes, and thanks for sharing it with us!

So, I have made a verison of this with frozen chicken. Just but the frozen chicken breasts on the bottom of the crock pot and add the rest. About 15 minutes before, I want to serve, I pull out chicken breasts, they just fall apart or pull part to make it shredded and then, back in for 10 minutes. It is always a heat.
