2012 is tomorrow! WOW! This year has been a good one to my family. I am so excited to see what next year has in store for us :) I hope you all have a fun and safe new years tonight, filled with great food and company!
To me, there is nothing more comforting on a cold winter day than a nice warm bowl of soup. I was browsing the internet last week for recipes for this week’s menu. I stumbled upon this recipe and immediately jotted it down on my grocery list. The good thing about this recipe, is most of us have all the ingredients on hand! My hubby raved about how delicious this recipe was and we both agree that this will be cycled into our dinner rotation!The other great thing about this recipe is that it literally took 10 minutes to throw together. Open all the cans, dump them in the crock pot, stir in the spices, stick in the raw chicken breasts and let the crock pot do its magic. Seriously. How easy is that?!
CROCKPOT CHICKEN TORTILLA SOUP
2 chicken boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 cans Ro-Tel (I like the lime & cilantro, but the regular is fine)
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 can corn
1 onion, chopped
2 cans low-sodium chicken broth
1-2 cups of water
1 Tbsp garlic powder*
1 Tbsp chile powder*
1 Tbsp ground cumin*
1 Tbsp dried cilantro*
tortilla chips
sour cream
shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
Instead of these spices, you could include a packet of Taco seasoning if you prefer.*
Put chopped onion, cans of beans, rotel, corn, chicken broth, water, and spices in CrockPot and stir to mix. Put chicken breasts on top of mixture and make sure they’re at least partly submerged in liquid. Cook on high 6-7 hours or low 8-9 hours. Before serving remove the chicken breasts from soup and shred, if needed, (sometimes they’ll just fall apart on their own, but sometimes they need some help). Return chicken to CrockPot, stir to combine.
To serve put a few tortilla chips in the bottom of a bowl, ladle soup over tortilla chips, top with shredded cheddar cheese, and a dollop of sour cream, serve with more chips if you like.
Enjoy!

Oh YUM! I kid you not, we went to Outback Steakhouse 3 nights ago and I had their chicken tortilla soup. During bites I told myself to remember to look for a recipe when I got home and I totally forgot all about it until seeing this now. I am all about crock pot recipes, and I can't wait to try this out!!! Thank you for sharing I can't wait to share your site and recipe with my blog :)
I made this last night, and it was very, very good. I had a box of chicken broth, so used the whole container and skipped the water. Delicious and so easy. This will become part of our regular dinner rotation.
This looks amazing! I pinned it and will add ingredients to my shopping list for this week! Thanks for sharing!!
I am getting hungry. Really hungry.
This looks so yummy!!! I love Tortilla soup!!! I have a project party every weekend if you want to join here.. http://www.bubblynaturecreations.com/2012/01/vanilla-bean-iced-coffee-and-project.html Have a great day! -Rachel
Oh. Em. Gee. I made this recipe a few days ago and still CAN NOT stop raving about this!!! IT IS AMAZING! Thank you for bringing this into my life!
Does anyone know the serving size for this soup? I have it in the crock pot now for dinner tonight and I'm trying to figure out the Weight Watchers points plus value for this? Thanks!!
This looks and sounds so yummy! I am going to try it tomorrow for dinner! Thanks for the recipe!Jilltwoyellowbirdsdecor.blogspot.com
am gonna raid my pantry and then go to store and try this tomorrow…will let you know how yummy it is. My local deli makes this but only on Tuesdays so it'll be nice to do it myself!
OMG-I made this tonight (tweaked it just a tad) and it was a hit!! Will be posting about tomorrow afternoon on my blog and of course crediting back to this blog! Thank you and my stomach thanks you too!
I found this on pinterest and had to try. I made two versions though a vegetarian and a chicken, both came out fantastic!! i will be sharing this with a link to here on my blog also to share this awesome recipe with others, great job!
i made this today, and OMG…it smelled amazing, and tasted even better! it was a great way to warm up in this cold weather. thanks!
This is absolutely delish! THank you for sharing :)
I made this today, found the recipe on Pinterest. It was so good! Husband, who is NOT a soup fan, LOVED it!! Two thumbs up, chef.
This was amazing! We added some velveeta cheese and it was so delicious. Thank you!
What size cans of chicken broth are we supposed to use?
Elizabeth I used just a box of the Swanson (or can use whatever brand) chicken broth and it turned out well..skip the water though is my tip! I tried it with water last time and was actually not flavorful enough…probably because I used the whole box of chicken broth! My husband loved it and is asking for it again already!
Thank you so much! I tried this recipe and blogged about it. I credited your lovely site :)http://jodyblonde.wordpress.com/2012/01/31/my-mothers-daughter/
Im makin this as we speak im invitin my parentsover for dinner and 2 cups of water just doesnt look enough I put both cans of broth,,,should I add more water?
How well does this recipe freeze?
I made this for my family this weekend. Added a little lite sour cream and a few thin tortilla strips too. So so yummy. I doubled the recipe and we have been eating on it for the last two days. Heck, it was my breakfast this morning!!! Yummy!! And yes, it freezes and rewarms wonderfully!
Made tonight…will definately make again. Doubled the black beans/ no kidney beans, and did not add any water. Have made many versions of this soup, and I always feel they do not need any water. Topped w/ avocado, shredded cheddar, sour cream, and tortilla strips.
I made the soup and substituted a can of white meat chicken breast. It was absolutely delicious. Had it with sour cream, cheddar cheese and tortilla chips. Will make this often. Husband loved it.
Thank you for all these yummy recipes !!!
I am following you on Pinterest and added your button to my blog !
Looks fabulous. This is my all-time favorite soup. But, how would you make this if you didn't have a crock pot?
I made this for dinner tonight. It is wonderful! I will definitely keep this recipe!!!
Made this tonight and it was delish. My crockpot only fits 2 quarts so I didn't have room for the extra water, but it honestly didn't need it. I think it was more flavorful that way. Thanks so much!
Everyone is still patting my back with this meal…although I keep insisting that it was almost as simple as fixing a bowl of cereal. I mean, my family practically gave me a standing ovation. Like others have commented, I did not add the extra water and used a box of broth instead. Divine.
I made this recipe last night exactly as is and it was FANTASTIC!!! Definately a keeper!!!
