Crock Pot Mexican Chicken Soup

This tasty soup has everything for a great dinner in the crock pot. It is the perfect blend of heat while not being so spicy that the kids can’t enjoy it. The tomatoes and veggies stretch the meat for the perfect budget friendly meal.

It is one of our favorite ways to use leftover chicken. We absolutely love this meal. You can also try making Mexican Chicken Soup Recipe on the stovetop for another quick dinner idea.

This soup is so easy and perfect any night of the week.

How to make Mexican chicken soup in the crock pot:

We love to set out a topping bar and everyone can load up their bowl of slow cooker mexican chicken soup. It is so good.

My kids love to put a bunch of tortilla strips on top. So good!

This soup is really delicious and so versatile. Sometimes we add black beans and extra tomatoes. It is delicious.

Time saving tip:

We keep diced onion and bell pepper in the freezer so it is easy to add to any recipe we like. Another time saving tip is to use a small food chopper or food processor to quickly and easily chop the onions.

If you do not have one of these, I highly recommend them. They are such a time saver and you can get the veggies really fine if you have children that are picky.

I usually just chop the entire vegetable and freeze what I don’t need. It’s so nice to be able to just take the diced onion out of the freezer for recipes.

This is how I meal prep. It’s so quick and easy and helps get dinner on the table fast.

Make sure you have a good crock pot to make this easy Mexican chicken soup.

Now you definitely need a crock pot for this recipe. I have two favorite crock pots.

I love my Ninja cooking system. It is pretty awesome because you can brown your ground beef or whatever meat you are cooking in the pot and then let is slow cook all day.

That means one more less pan to cook for most recipes. This has become my new favorite crock pot just because of that one feature!

I am all about making things easier around here and having less dishes to clean up! You can make this in the instant pot if you prefer.

I also love this programmable 6 quart crock pot. It is awesome and very nice on the budget.

I love that it will seal closed so you can transport it for parties and tailgates. This is such an awesome feature if you take your crock pot places.

Another time saving tip is to use Crockpot liners. They make clean up a breeze.

Instead of scrubbing and washing the pot, you can just toss the liner. It is practically no clean up.
