Warm up to this healthy Mexican inspired dish with recipe for Crock-Pot Healthy Chicken Tortilla Soup. So easy, fresh and satisfying! Only 2 Weight Watchers SmartPoints per serving!

Crock-Pot Healthy Chicken Tortilla Soup

Slow Cooker Healthy Chicken Tortilla Soup

This recipe was originally posted in October of 2012 and it came as part of a giveaway about a great cookbook called American Heart Association Healthy Slow Cooker Cookbook: 200 Low-Fuss, Good-for-You Recipes. Random House, who is the publisher of this great cookbook offered me a copy of the cookbook, permission to cook and share a recipe from the book and offered one lucky Crock-Pot Ladies reader a chance to win a copy of their very own. 

The giveaway is now long over and I thought I would revisit this recipe and update the photos, because basically I stunk at food photography in 2012.  😯 And while I am not any sort of professional food photographer these days either I think I can do better. At least make them decent now and not look so dark and dank like the original photographs did.

And I know just how important decent photos when looking for new recipe to try.

And this recipe otherwise is just the same as when I posted it back in the day. I am just adding in stuff like nutritional information and republishing it because it really is a nice and fresh healthy recipe that I know you will love!

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts (trimmed, cut into 1 inch pieces)
  • 2 cups Frozen Corn
  • 2 cups Chicken Broth (low sodium, store bought or homemade)
  • 14.5 ounces Canned Diced Tomatoes (no salt added, with juices)
  • ¼ cup Onion (finely chopped)
  • 1 teaspoon Granulated Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Ancho Chili Powder
  • 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • 3 whole Corn Tortillas (two of them cut into 1/4 inch wide strips and one torn into pieces )
  • 2 – 4 tablespoons Fresh Cilantro (snipped or minced)
  • ¼ cup Fresh Avocado (diced small)
  • ¼ whole Red Bell Pepper (cut into matchstick-size strips)

Instructions

  • In a 6 quart or larger slow cooker, stir together the chicken, corn, broth, tomatoes with liquid, onion, sugar, chili powder, garlic and salt.
  • Cook, covered, on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Arrange the tortilla stips in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  • Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until crisp.
  • Transfer the baking sheet to a cooling rack.
  • Let the strips stand for about 15 minutes, or until cool.
  • Transfer to an airtight container and set aside.
  • When the soup is ready, transfer 1 cup to a food processor or blender.
  • Stir in the tortilla pieced (not the strips you baked but the 1 tortilla that was just torn into pieces).
  • Let the mixture stand for 1 minute so the tortilla pieces soften.
  • Process until smooth.
  • Stir the mixture into the soup.
  • Stir in the cilantro.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls.
  • Sprinkle with the avocado, bell pepper and reserved baked tortilla strips.

Notes

Cook’s Tip: Adding the processed soup and tortilla mixture to the rest of the soup gives the finished product more body and distributes the tortilla flavor.

    Our family (2 adults & 1 teen) loved this recipe. We will probably double it or look for a filling side for next time as we ate it all and were looking for a little more as well!

    I’m thinking about making this and adding a can if black beans. Do you think that would be good and if so when should I add them?

      Yes I think that would be good. I would add the beans in the beginning. Drain and rinse them first then add them with the other ingredients first.

    I don’t know what I did wrong but this recipe had no flavor. Won’t make it again.
