Healthy Slow Cooker Tex Mex Chicken Soup recipes is a one pot meal that’s full of those authentic Mexican flavors you love.
This soup is bursting with fresh and healthy flavors and easily cooked in the slow cooker.
Growing up the slow cooker was reserved mostly for roast. In fact, I don’t recall my mom using it to cook anything else.
As a wife and mother, I’ve come to love my slow cooker for making healthy and delicious meals in a jiffy. So many recipes with a slow cooker you simply layer the ingredients in the crock, turn it on and walk away.
That’s the deal with Chicken Tortilla Soup. Turn it on and walk away…
Healthy Slow Cooker Tex Mex Chicken Soup Tips
- I used Swanson® Broth instead of water in this recipe. It really makes the soup richer with more depth of flavor. Campbell’s makes new and innovative products like Swanson® Broth that makes mealtime easier for busy families.
- I used a spicy tomato cocktail juice, but you can use regular or even plain tomato juice if you prefer.
- You may substitute 2 cups fresh or frozen corn for the canned corn. Likewise, you can substitute 2 cups 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 roux, alfredo, marinara, and curry.
