Having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for a sincere brotherly love, love one another earnestly from a pure heart. 1 peter 1:22

in the south when the weather drops below 60 degrees it’s soup season and this is one of the first soups i make! if my husband had his choice i think he’d have us eat chili every week all winter, but he also loves this version of the classic chicken tortilla soup. fall and winter is when activities are ramping up and as a working mom, this recipe is just what i need in my life and honestly if i can convince my husband we will eat this occasionally in the summer. the simplicity and few ingredients are also what speak to me. we have to put more corn, because sweet kate would only eat the corn out of the soup if we let her!

Our lives are so busy in the fall and i can’t wait for you to throw the few ingredients in the crockpot and enjoy this dinner when you and your family get home! add on some avocado or guacamole for extra creaminess and definitely add beans if they aren’t inflammatory for your gut! I can’t wait to hear how this soup becomes apart of your family!

alternatives

If you happen to be out of chicken broth, you can always use vegetable broth! Add more veggies including beans, tomatoes or even some jalepenos for a kick if your family can tolerate the heat! If you’re out of dairy free heavy cream you are more than welcome to use oat milk, almond milk or canned coconut milk!

steps

This is the easiest prep work you will ever do! just set the crock pot to high and chop the peppers and onions. place the chicken, seasoning, salsa, chicken broth and vegetables into the crockpot.

i like to stir the soup every once in a while….but mostly because i’m so excited to smell and eat it! after about 3 hours add the heavy cream and allow to simmer for another hour.

shred the chicken and return to the crockpot and allow to simmer another 30 minutes. serve the soup with tortilla chips and i love having some fresh avocado on top!
