Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup
Crock-Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup is a recipe originally given to us by Melissa Weaver, one of our readers. I made it for my family and they all enjoyed it. It really is a great family recipe that we will add to our meals. We ate it with tortilla’s, tortilla chips, sour cream and lots of cheese. The flavor worked really well, and it had a great kick to it.
My kids liked the beans the best (of course) and this type of meal is up my alley! I ate the leftovers for 2 more days. This recipe is easy to put the heat up with salsa or a spicy taco seasoning or go very mild. Whatever make your taste buds happy!

Crock-Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 Pound Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
- 1 Medium Yellow Onion (Diced)
- 32 Ounces Low-Sodium Chicken Broth (Store Bought Or Homemade Chicken Broth)
- 15 Ounces Canned Black Beans (Drained And Rinsed)
- 15 Ounces Canned Chili Beans (Undrained)
- 29 Ounces Canned Diced Tomatoes with Green Chiles (Such As RoTel Brand)
- 16 Ounces Canned Tomato Sauce
- 11 Ounces Canned Mexican Corn
- 1 Packet Low Sodium Taco Seasoning Mix (Or 3 Tablespoons Homemade Taco Seasoning Mix)
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a 5 quart or larger slow cooker and stir briefly to combine.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours or on HIGH for 4 hours.
- Carefully lift cooked chicken breasts out of the slow cooker and place on a plate so you can shred the meat with two forks. Add the shredded chicken back into the soup and stir.
- Ladle hot soup into bowls and top with tortilla chips, sour cream, cheese or your favorite toppings. For a touch of brightness a little fresh chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice really brings out the flavors of the soup.
- Top bowls of hot soup with the fried tortilla strips, a dollop of sour cream and plenty of shredded cheese.

I love all of the crockpot recipes you put on here. There is only two of us & it’s so conveient & Good!
Is it me, or does this recipe not say what to do with the taco seasoning packet? I just added it to the crock pot with everything else. Hope that was right!
Thanks Angela for pointing that out. I have edited the recipe to include adding the taco seasoning.
So it has three boneless chicken breasts PLUS another pound of chicken? Is this a mistake?
Thanks for catching that mistake Joan! I am so sorry about that and I have corrected the recipe to read 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts. I think what happened is when I was updating the nutritional information a few months ago on this recipe the original recipe said 3 BLSL chicken breasts but for nutritional analysis it is easier to use pounds of chicken because individual chicken breasts weigh differently. Very sorry about that but a big thank you for catching it and letting us know!
Can precooked rotisserie chicken be used instead of the uncooked chicken breasts? Would that reduced the cooking time?
Great question Carolyn, while I have not tested this recipe using the meat from a cooked rotisserie chicken I think it should work. However I would add the cut up or shredded cooked chicken meat to the soup about 2 hours before the rest of the soup is done. That will give it time to warm up the chicken without overcooking it. If you try it, let me know how it turns out for you!
