Slow Cooker Mexican Chicken Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Place chicken thighs in a large pot of water. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat to medium-high and boil until no longer pink in the centers, about 30 minutes. Remove from the pot and let cool until able to handle, about 10 minutes. Shred chicken.
• Place chicken broth, tomatoes, black beans, corn, tomato sauce, chiles, and taco seasoning into the bottom of a slow cooker. Add shredded chicken. Cover and cook on Low, 6 to 8 hours.
• Serve topped with Cheddar cheese, sour cream, tortilla chips, and cilantro.

Steps:

• Put the chicken in a slow cooker. Sprinkle on the chili powder, cumin and some salt and pepper. Add the tomatoes, chicken broth, black beans, tomatoes with chiles, tomato paste, onion, chipotle pepper and red and yellow peppers. Stir, place the lid on the slow cooker and cook for 5 hours on high or 8 hours on low.
• Stir in the lime juice. Remove the chicken to a plate and use 2 forks to break it into chunks (or shred it finely). Return the chicken to the pot, taste and add more seasoning if necessary.
• Serve piping hot in a bowl with avocado, sour cream, grated cheese, crushed tortilla chips and cilantro leaves on top!

Steps:

• Cover the beans with water, bring to a boil, cover, turn off the heat and let stand one hour.
• Drain the beans and add to crock pot.
• Add the rest of the ingredients, add enough water to just cover everything. Cover the pot, turn to high and walk away.
• Cook about 5 hours on high, or longer on low, depending on your beans and how firm you like them.
• Cut the chicken into bite-sized chunks.
• Serve topped with sour cream, grated cheese and/or chopped avocado.
• Note: I also add 1-2 teaspoons of a seasoning I buy in the local Mexican market called "Sal/Chile/Limon" - you could just add lemon juice, salt and more chile powder, lemon pepper, if you like - it's not essential.

Steps:

• In a large nonstick skillet, saute chicken in oil until no longer pink. Add water and taco seasoning; simmer, uncovered, until chicken is well coated. , Transfer to a 5-qt. slow cooker. Stir in the V8 juice, salsa, beans and corn. Cover and cook on low for 3-4 hours or until heated through. If desired, serve with optional toppings.

Steps:

• Sprinkle taco seasoning evenly onto both sides of chicken breasts; place in slow cooker sprayed with cooking spray. Top with salsa, beans, carrots and peppers. Pour chicken broth over ingredients in slow cooker; cover with lid. Cook on LOW 6 to 7 hours (or on HIGH 3 to 4 hours).
• Remove chicken from slow cooker; set aside. Discard Seasoning Packet from soup mix. Break apart Ramen Noodles; stir into remaining ingredients in slow cooker. Cook, covered, 10 min. or until noodles are tender. Meanwhile, shred chicken.
• Return chicken to soup. Add cilantro and 1 cup cheese; stir. Ladle soup into serving bowls; top with remaining cheese.
