Description

This spicy soup is fabulous on a cold Chicago day! It’s so easy to throw in the crockpot and come home to such a great smell. It’s healthy and hearty so it doesn’t have you missing those creamy soups! Both my husband and I love this soup and always feel satisfied after. It packs a punch so have some tissues handy!

Hi! I’m going to make this tomorrow–does the chicken have to be frozen?

I tried this recipe out this past week on a group of teenage boys and it was a huge hit! Love the flavors, the ease of making it and the heartiness of soup feeling like a substantial meal. Will use this recipe again and again!

I made this for a girlfriends night in, and it was delicious…everyone wanted the recipe! I used Ro-tel instead of the plain tomatoes, and green chile enchilada sauce instead of red, and let it simmer all day on the stove. We garnished it with cilantro, cheese and sour cream, and it could not have been better! Will be making it again for sure- thanks for a great new recipe!

Thanks for this, taking77!
This is a really good and hardy soup. Our family loves it. I often add a handful of fresh baby spinach (when I have it) to the bottom of our soup bowls and let the soup wilt the spinach. It doesn’t affect the flavor, adds some healthy greens and looks good, too! I serve it with the cilantro as one of the condiments along with the chips, cheese, and sour cream. YUM!

Delicious! Made this last week and the taste was excellent. I only added half of the chili powder because I was afraid it would be too spicy. But you could hardly notice it. Will definitely use the full amount next time.

I have a 4 quart slow cooker so I skipped adding the 1 cup of water until after cooking and just added a little bit at the end–it may have ended up thicker than intended, but perfect for me. I also added chopped green onion and jalapeno at the end. We really liked this soup!
