Skinny Slow Cooker Southwest Chicken Soup
 |
I have one last healthy recipe for you before Skinny January comes to an end. It’s like I took a plate of my favorite Mexican food and turned it into a fantastic bowl of soup!
This is one of those meals you will make over and over again; the kind of recipe that satisfies everyone.
*It’s healthy
*It’s super simple to make – just throw everything in the crock pot
*It’s full of different flavors and textures – very hearty
*It’s really, really yummy!!
I have been using my crock pot a lot lately, I am so thankful for those things! Sure makes dinner time easier for me!
I love making soups in the crock pot because it gives the flavor of a soup that’s been cooking all day, without having to leave the stove on for several hours. Plus your house will smell delicious

do you shred the chicken once it’s cooked, or cut it up beforehand? thanks!
Hi, Celeste! I shredded it after it cooked – better add that to the recipe, thanks!
That huuuuuge, delectable pile of shredded cheese on top is screaming my name
as well as big ol’ hunks of avocado as a garnish! I am in love with this soup, girlie! So flavorful and perfect for a chilly January evening when I don’t feel like cooking (which is, uh, every evening)

gong make for a cold rainy day!
I thought it had lots of Mexican flavor, but my family likes a heartier (thicker) soup.
Tim does too so I added a cream soup to thicken it.
smells good!
maybe for dinner?
