Slow Cooker Tex Mex Chicken Soup

As a wife and mother, I love my slow cooker for making healthy and delicious meals in a jiffy. There are so many recipes with a slow cooker. You simply layer the ingredients in the crock, turn it on, and walk away.

Growing up the slow cooker was reserved mostly for a roast. In fact, I don’t recall my mom using it to cook anything else.

That’s the deal with Chicken Tortilla Soup. Turn it on and walk away…

Slow Cooker Tex Mex Chicken Soup Tips

1. I used Swanson® Broth instead of water in this recipe. It really makes the soup richer and has more depth of flavor.
2. I used spicy tomato cocktail juice, but you can use regular or plain tomato juice.
3. You may substitute 2 cups of fresh or frozen corn for the canned corn. Likewise, you can substitute 2 cups of cooked black beans for the canned black beans.

You’ll find other uses for Swanson® Broth besides the typical soups and stews. Swanson® Broth increases the flavor in grains like rice, risotto, couscous, and polenta. Sauces dress up everyday dishes and Swanson® Broth makes these better. Try it in a roux, alfredo, marinara, and curry.
