PIN THIS RECIPE

Crock-Pot 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!

Prep Time 20Minutes
Cook Time 6 - 8Hours On LOW Or 3 - 4 Hours On HIGH
Instructions
  1. In a 6 quart slow cooker, stir together the chicken, corn, broth, tomatoes with liquid, onion, sugar, chili powder, garlic and salt.
  2. Cook, covered, on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours.
  3. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350°F.
  4. Arrange the tortilla stips in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until crisp.
  6. Transfer the baking sheet to a cooling rack.
  7. Let the strips stand for about 15 minutes, or until cool.
  8. Transfer to an airtight container and set aside.
  9. When the soup is ready, transfer 1 cup to a food processor or blender.
  10. Stir in the tortilla pieced (not the strips you baked but the 1 tortilla that was just torn into pieces).
  11. Let the mixture stand for 1 minute so the tortilla pieces soften.
  12. Process until smooth.
  13. Stir the mixture into the soup.
  14. Stir in the cilantro.
  15. Ladle the soup into bowls.
  16. Sprinkle with the avocado, bell pepper and reserved baked tortilla strips.
Recipe 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.
