Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup has got to be one of my top 10 meals of all time. I love it so much because you dump everything into the slow cooker in the morning, and you let that simmer away all day, making your house smell amazing! Then by the time dinner rolls around, you’re so excited to eat it because you’ve been smelling it all dang day.
I love to make slow cooker meals when I have a busy day, or on Sundays so when I come home from church everything is ready. Though, I can’t *technically* endorse leaving your slow cooker unattended at home. I mean, have you seen This is Us? Jokes aside, I love my slow cooker and use it all the time during the Fall.

How to Make Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup
Okay, I’m not really supposed to say this word (especially around my kids), but I’m going to say it anyway. This recipe is STUPID easy. Oh, not the word that you were thinking of? Haha.
I digress. This recipe is so simple I can do it early in the morning when I’m still a little delirious from being awakened by my toddler (anyone else feel that?). Literally, all you have to do is put all the ingredients, except the toppings, in the slow cooker for 6-8 hours. That’s it!!
After that 8 hours is up, all you have to do is check to make sure your chicken is cooked through (if it’s not, you probably forgot to turn on your slow cooker, lol) and shred it, then mix everything up.
Top with your favorite toppings and serve! You can serve this with a side salad or some homemade rolls or cornbread for a super easy and yummy meal.

Ya should try it with green enchilada sauce instead of the red sauce. It’s so yummy.
Do you use frozen chicken breasts or thawed?
I put my chicken in frozen in the morning and it was perfectly cooked by dinner time.
This recipe is so easy and delicious! I just threw all the ingredients into the crockpot and had dinner perfectly ready without any extra effort. Leftovers for lunch the next day were amazing as well. My new go-to chicken tortilla soup recipe!
Excellent! Not too spicy for my little ones. Added a can of black beans to mine.
Julia!!!!! Wonderful recipe! Thank you. Omgoodness, delicious and flavorful.😄
I added black beans as well. This was delicious!
My husband and I enjoyed your take on this soup. It was convenient to have it a slow cooker recipe. My husband stated he likes the recipe that I’ve used in the past more and it is super easy, a dump recipe, no measuring, just isn’t a slow cooking recipe. If interested in that recipe. Let me know, I am happy to share.
Does anyone know if you can double this soup? And if so, do you literally just double all the ingredients? Also, can you freeze the soup after it is cooked? Thanks!
