Crock Pot Green Enchilada Chicken Soup: Big Comfort, Minimal Effort

How to Make Crock Pot Green Enchilada Chicken Soup

1. Layer the Base

Place the chicken in the bottom of the crock pot. Add the onion, garlic, beans, corn, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper.

2. Add the Liquids

Pour in the green enchilada sauce and chicken broth. Gently stir to combine, making sure the chicken is submerged.

3. Slow Cook

Cover and cook on LOW for 6–7 hours or HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and easy to shred.

4. Shred the Chicken

Remove the chicken, shred it with two forks, and return it to the crock pot.

5. Make It Creamy

Add the cubed cream cheese, stir gently, and cover again. Cook for another 20–30 minutes until the soup is creamy and smooth.

6. Taste and Adjust

Check seasoning and add more salt or pepper if needed.

Serving Suggestions

Ladle the soup into bowls and finish with your favorite toppings. Crunchy tortilla strips or a squeeze of lime add contrast, while avocado and sour cream bring extra richness.

Serve with warm cornbread or a simple green salad for a complete meal.
