Chicken Tortilla Soup in the Slow Cooker

This chicken tortilla soup in the slow cooker is such a delicious meal that you can throw together in a snap. It is perfect for weeknights…or lazy Saturdays!

We have had the first little hint of fall here in Alabama. Translation: temperature highs not above the low eighties and low humidity. I realize not many people would consider this True Fall Weather, but after a summer of high nineties and suffocating humidity…I’ll take it! I know the chillier weather is just around the corner.

And those crisp days call for soup! Lots of soup. Bonus points when I can make it in the slow cooker.

I just LOVE the recipes where you can dump a few things in the crock pot in the morning and poof! Dinner is served without much fuss that night.

This chicken tortilla soup in the slow cooker fits the bill! I wait and add a few last minute ingredients at the end (beans and corn), but the bulk of the prep work is done the morning of.

This is perfect for football food too. We ate it this past weekend while watching college football. My three year old and my husband both asked for seconds.

And you can go crazy on the toppings if you want to. Because overall this soup is pretty light and healthy. A few suggestions for toppings: tortilla strips, cheese, avocado, sour cream, chives…the possibilities are endless!

I kept it pretty simple with some diced avocado, cilantro and tortilla chips on the side. I like an extra little squeeze of lime in mine too.
