Crock Pot Green Enchilada Chicken Soup

  1. Assemble the Base
    In a Crock Pot, combine chicken, green enchilada sauce, diced green chiles, white beans, corn, onion, garlic, chicken broth, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Cook
    Cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours or high for 3–4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  3. Shred the Chicken
    Remove the chicken from the Crock Pot, shred it using two forks, and return it to the soup.
  4. Make it Creamy
    Stir in the cream cheese and shredded cheese. Let it melt into the soup for 10–15 minutes with the lid on.
  5. Serve and Enjoy
    Ladle into bowls and top with your favorite garnishes like avocado, lime juice, fresh cilantro, or tortilla strips.

Tips & Variations

  • Make it spicy: Add diced jalapeños or use hot green enchilada sauce.
  • Dairy-free option: Omit cheese and cream cheese, or replace with dairy-free alternatives.
  • Thicker soup: Mash some of the beans or add extra cheese.
  • Add rice or quinoa: Stir in cooked rice or quinoa at the end for extra heartiness.
