Creamy Chicken Tortilla Soup Slow Cooker Recipe

It’s almost my favorite season of the year…Soup season!  I love soup!  

I think it is delicious and it can be really filling.  With the right ingredients, it can be pretty healthy too.

I love soups that have protein and vegetables in it and my husband loves soups that aren’t “clear” because he feels they are more filling. I came up with the idea to turn a simple and delicious family favorite recipe for chicken tortilla soup into a scrumptious and so easy to make a creamy chicken tortilla soup slow cooker recipe using 6 cans of veggies and beans plus a few more ingredients to make it taste totally homemade.  

And it is aaaaamaaaaaziiiiing!  

I make this often for my family and they just love it!  Even my kids love it!  So it is a definite hit around our house and it is in our current regular recipe rotation!  

You can, of course, make this creamy chicken tortilla soup slow cooker recipe on the stove.

I think it is so easy to throw everything into your slow cooker in the morning and just let it cook all day.  It gives this soup a yummy flavor, cooks your chicken and everything is ready to go by dinner time!

But if you are in a rush, or forgot to put everything in your slow cooker in the morning, you can definitely throw this all over the stove and cook it that way as well.

Can I change this 6 can soup recipe?

Yes, of course, you can, but it won’t taste the same!  If you have an aversion or allergy to something in this recipe, you can definitely leave something out or substitute it.  But please consider that changes to the recipe will change the overall flavor and texture of the soup.

This Creamy Chicken Tortilla Soup Slow Cooker Recipe is absolute perfection in my option and keeps the whole family smiling with happy tummies.

Can you really put raw chicken in the slow cooker for this creamy chicken tortilla soup?

Most definitely!  This is the beauty of making soup in a slow cooker!  You can throw everything in and it will cook perfectly!  When slow cooking chicken in a soup, you will get perfectly juicy, tender chicken that is ready to shred.  And the flavors will all meld together perfectly for a rich and delicious soup.

I do not like to put frozen chicken in the slow cooker for a recipe like this because I want to ensure that my chicken does reach the proper temperature.  But feel free to use non-frozen chicken in this recipe for amazing results every single time!
