Chicken Tortilla Soup Crockpot Ingredients

Key Ingredients

  • Chicken – two chicken breasts cut into small pieces. Alternatively, add whole chicken breasts and shred the meat at the end.
  • Corn tortillas – add subtle flavor and thicken the soup.
  • Picante sauce – I use HOT! for extra zing, but you can use mild or medium.
  • Tomatoes with green chiles – The classic Ro*tel is perfect, or you can use hot.
  • Cheese – We love this with shredded sharp cheddar. Monterey Jack or a Mexican blend would also be delicious.
  • Corn – Use frozen (or fresh), not canned.
  • Cream of chicken soup – shortcut to add flavor and creaminess.
  • Black beans – rich in plant-based protein and fiber.
