Crock Pot Chicken Enchilada Soup



Everything I love about chicken enchiladas... in a bowl! I love turning classic meals into soups lately, it's an easy (maybe even lazy) way to make a meal and it doesn't require dirtying too many pots.

I basically took my chicken enchilada recipe and added some black beans, corn and chicken broth and threw it all into the crock pot.


A few hours later this delicious bowl of soup emerged which I topped with cheese, scallions, cilantro and a dallop of fat free sour cream. I served it with avocado on the side since I grew up eating avocado in my soup. This was very tasty, filling and had just the right amount of kick! Add more or less chipotle to your taste.

I've labeled this as freezer friendly, whether you want to make your meals ahead to freeze for the month, or save your leftovers for lunch. To reheat you can microwave or reheat over the stove. To see other freezer friendly meals, click here.

  2. I've never cooked chicken breats (from the raw state) in a cockpot. Does it get hot enough to cook safely?

    ReplyDelete
  3. Just to be sure, the chicken goes in raw, right? And it cooked directly in the soup?

    ReplyDelete
  4. Dying to try this!!! Holy cow YUM!!! Why didn't I ever think of this!!!

    ReplyDelete
  5. where is the flour in the ingredients list? How much do I add?

    ReplyDelete
  6. Can't wait to try this! Love your chicken enchilada recipe so this should be a winner! I love chicken in the crockpot. I often cook a family size package to shred and freeze for making quick weekday dinners.

    ReplyDelete
  7. YUM! For the serving size, how much cheese is included in the NI?

    ReplyDelete
  8. I cook raw chicken in the crock pot all the time, it's great and shreds easily!!

    Anonymous, thanks for catching that, I will fix! No flour, I was going to add it, then decided not to.

    Cara, so do I!

    The cheese is 2 tbsp per bowl.

  9. This sounds amazing! I can't wait to try it out!

  10. As someone who usually only cooks for two, I am so excited about the Freezer Friendly category! Thanks for adding this feature. This new recipe looks amazing too.

  11. Recipe looks great, but I'm guessing that you "threw" it all into the crock pot instead of
    "through" it....

    1. That was rude.

      Delete
    2. Very rude indeed.. Who cares how it was spelled? Did you enjoy the recipe? Show some appreciation!
      I am making this right now and can't wait to eat it tonight! Only thing is I couldn't find the chilis in adobe sauce.. So I just got reg chilis and added some chipotle seasoning that I had. Thanks again for the great recipe! You're my culinary hero!

  12. Another amazing dish! I love it! It looks tasty! I am loving crockpot cooking, makes life so much easier!

  13. Yum, yum...just the right soup for a cold day like today. Thank you!

  14. I love it when you save my life. There is plain boring soup in my crock pot RIGHT NOW that I was deciding how to make yummy. Thanks to you, it is salvageable. Awesome.

  15. Looks like a great meal to eat all week.

    ReplyDelete
  16. I just made this for dinner in my dutch oven (chicken was shredable after 45 minutes). It was delicious, but tastes almost exactly like chicken taco chili. Yummy either way!

    ReplyDelete
  17. this makes me so happy! i was just thinking i needed to make soup today and this sounds perfect! thanks for such amazing recipes. i look forward to checking your site everyday :-)

    ReplyDelete
  18. I would use Greek yogurt as a topping instead of sour cream.....still tastes the same!

    ReplyDelete
  19. This looks so yummy! I used to make something like this and threw in a handlful of finely chopped corn tortillas...they 'melt' in the crock pot and give it that rustic corn flavor that enchilada's have. Can't wait to try it!

    ReplyDelete
  20. I'm with Kathikay - add the finely chopped corn tortillas.... Yum!

    ReplyDelete
  21. How man points if I skip the cheese? Will it change any?

    ReplyDelete
  22. I've been wondering if I could cook chicken breasts in the crock pot because I've never seen any recipes to do so. And then here comes your post for the day. I think I'm going to love this.

    ReplyDelete
  23. The recipe looks delicious! Just wanted to let you know of a mistake that I noticed in your post though.

    On the line that states:

    "I basically took my chicken enchilada recipe and added some black beans, corn and chicken broth and through it all into the crock pot.", you may want to change 'through' to 'threw'. :)

    Have a Happy New Year!

  25. thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts with us

  26. My favorite is still the Chicken Taco Chili, though I've not yet tried this recipe! When I make the chili, I throw in a couple of extra chicken breasts to cook and shred for like recipes (enchiladas etc.). It works out great.
    I do find a bit of a change in texture once frozen though. Anyone have any tips there? I even thaw in the frig. Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  27. Ha Ha Thanks for proof reading my stuff :) I will fix it! It's a miracle I don't have more typos!

    Love the idea of adding chopped corn tortillas. They sell frozen roasted corn in Trader Joes, that would be great. Maybe add some roasted poblanos! The possibilities are pretty endless.

  28. Another delicious crock pot recipe?? I need this in my life.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I love chicken enchiladas but sometimes hate the steps in preparing them! THis is a great alternative! Thanks for sharing!

  30. I love your recipes and have tried several of them now...everyone is a hit! But, my question for you today is: what brand of bowl is that and where did you get that great placemat?

    ReplyDelete
  31. This looks great, I love using my slow cooker whenever possible!

    ReplyDelete
  32. My husband and I have tried so many of these receipe's and love them,

    ReplyDelete
  33. Is there any way I can do this with out tomatoes I have a food allergy?

    ReplyDelete
  34. Without tomatoes I would maybe add some chopped green chilies instead.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Actually, you could eliminate the oil (and thus, the fat calories) because you don't have to saute the onion and garlic. The reason that one would saute is to caramelize the onion and create a bit of flavor. However, you only said to make it soft -- thus, you're NOT aiming for the caramelized stage. You can make the onion and garlic soft by simply boiling it in a bit of the chicken broth.

    For that matter, you could skip this whole step and save cleaning a pot. I can't see any reason for first boiling those ingredients in a separate container. Am I missing something? Why not just put it all in the crock pot and let it go for 6 hours? The onions would get soft in that time, and the other ingredients don't need to be boiled, either.

    ReplyDelete
  36. It is amazing!

    ReplyDelete
  37. My husband hates beans...do you know the PP Value without beans? If not, no worries, sometimes I make your Chicken Taco Chili in the crock on a weekend and freeze individual portions. I'm sure I could do that with this too!

    ReplyDelete
  38. love your page an i was wondering how long we can keep cooked chicken in the ref. an other meats

    ReplyDelete
  39. I also like to squeeze in some fresh lime juice when serving, to give it an extra flavor kick and make it a little more Mexican.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Gina -

    This sounds amazing. I have "crockpot Tuesdays" in my household d/t having to work a 12 hour shift. I rotate between the three bean chili, chicken taco chili, and the pumpkin chicken white bean chili -- and I'm totally going to make this next week! :) I have been following this website since September 2010 when I started Weight Watchers. I ONLY cook from you as I plan my meals for the week every Sunday! I lost 25 lbs in about 3 months of actively following WW -- and I've kept EVERYTHING off for over a year thanks to your amazing recipes :) This THANKS is WAY overdue :)

    ReplyDelete
  41. Made this tonight, was so yums! So glad to have leftovers, was a huge hit with my 22 month old, 5 yr old & husband ;) Love your recipes!!

    ReplyDelete
  42. made it last night, used leftover turkey instead of chicken, my family loved it.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Brenda, in my experience I find that sautéing the onions and garlic first, whenever I make crock pot meals greatly improves the flavor as crock pots tend to lose some flavor.

    Samantha, sorry I don't off hand.

    Bonita, I usually keep chicken in the fridge about 3 days.

    Maggie that's great, thanks for leaving a comment!!

    So glad you all liked the soup!

    ReplyDelete
  44. This looks so delicious, can't wait to try it!! Would it make a big difference if I left out the corn? (food allergy). Is there something else I can use instead of corn?

    ReplyDelete
  45. Where can I find chipotle chili in adobo sauce? I want to try this recipe soon!!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  46. This is my kind of soup!

    ReplyDelete
  47. Evelyn- you can find the chipotles in the aisle with the canned jalapenos. Typically you only need 1 chipotle, so what I do when I open a can is I lay waxx paper down on a cookie sheet and lay out the chipotles and freeze them. Then I just put em in a ziploc. I have a friend who throws the can into the food processor and then measures and freezes one tablespoon portions.(But then she has to clean the processor and I only have to wipe down a cookie sheet.

  48. Oh my goodness - made this tonight for visiting family and everyone loved it. Another amazing skinny taste recipe - will surely be making this again and again.

    Was particular proud to have made the broth myself for this one - I had bones from a roast chicken left over and put them to good use.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Would you believe I looked up and suddenly it had gone fro 1 p to 5 p and I had forgoten to put everything in the crockpot! No worries, I put it all in y big pot and siered it for an hour. Oh, and the frozen corn that i knew was in the booto of the freezer turned out to be pearl onions. Luckily, I had a bag of baby lias so I just dumped that in instead of the corn.

  51. I made this today and we are eating right now. Fantastic! I didn't have enough corn so I used a can hominy and my husband just went for seconds. Thanks for another hit!

    ReplyDelete
  52. How long would this go in a pressure cooker if I used that instead of a crock pot? As always LOVE your stuff Gina!!

    ReplyDelete
  53. I haven't tried it in a pressure cooker, not very lOng but I would be guessing 25 minutes?

    ReplyDelete
  54. This was awesome. I don't like enchilada's because I don't like the wrapper, so this way I get all the flavor, less fat and soup . What could have been better!!! I finished mine with a splash of lime juice too, which added a nice brightness. Thanks so much

    ReplyDelete
  55. This looks yummy!!! I am always looking for different types of soups during this time of year.

    ReplyDelete
  56. This is in my crock pot right now - I can't wait to get home and eat it! Thanks Gina for the amazing recipe!

  57. Mmmmmmm......this looks yummy. So do lots of other of your crockpot soups. Winter is going to be so goooooood.

  58. I made this for dinner tonight and it was delicious! My husband loved it and went back for 2nds. We froze the leftovers and will have it another night. Love your recipes Gina.

    ReplyDelete
  59. I made this recipe Sunday and my husband loved it...and he's not a big soup eater. Even our 8 yr old nephew loved it!!! Thank you so much for adding another great recipe to our rotation...especially for those cold nights when soups really hit the spot.

  60. Is the ingredient "chipotle chili in adobe sauce" a packet of some sort. Thanks

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. In case no one answered, it comes in a small can sort of like tomato paste. I can usually find it in the Mexican or "ethnic" (store's word, not mine) section of grocery stores.

  61. I made this soup last night and it will be saved in my favorite recipes! I added some rice and my husband and I absolutely loved it!

  62. Incredible Soup, Loved it!

    This soup is the best I've ever had. I was concerned that the chipotle chili in adobo sauce would make it too hot, but it didn't. Next time, I might even add a couple more chiles to kick it up a knotch. This will be a regular on our meal plan. Can't wait to make it again. Thanks, Gina!

  63. This was the BEST receipe I have ever had at Skinny Taste. I for one have tasted a LOT of receipes here and loved many of them, but this is the best, best, best! YUM!

  64. Excellent recipe! This is delicious! Thank you!

    ReplyDelete
  65. I didn't see this recipe until 4 pm, but wanted to try it now! So I used leftover cooked turkey breast (sliced into thin strips) and instead of slow cooking, I cooked it on the stove for an hour and it turned out wonderful! Even my 4 and 7 year old loved it. Can't wait to try the slow cooker version.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Someone might have already asked this, but does the 7 points include a dallop of the fat free sour cream?

    ReplyDelete
  67. Where do you find the "chipotle chili in adobo sauce"? Couldn't find this exact ingredient in the grocery store.

    ReplyDelete
  68. Can you make this by putting the chicken breasts in there frozen and adjusting the cook time?

    ReplyDelete
  69. This was very good! Well worth dirtying two pans. ;) I will add more chilies next time. I only used 1t of adobe. I'll use more next time.

    ReplyDelete
  70. Wow Gina! Another winner! I doubled this, so didn't have room in my slow cooker, and ended up simmering it on the stove for about 45 minutes. Delicious. Thanks so much.

  71. Dear Gina - one day i looked online for a recipe for sweedish meatballs. I found your site and I'm so happy. I love everything I've tried as does my family and am psyched to try everything else. I have a lot of trouble choosing what to make - still haven't done sweedish meatballs but am going to tomorrow :) can't wait!

    ReplyDelete
  78. This didn't taste like enchilada soup at all. It just tasted like a good chicken tortilla soup. I even put in more chipolte in adobe sauce than it called for. I wonder if I change the 8oz tomato soup to enchilada sauce if it would take enchilada-y? And up the chipolte?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Try adding more cumin, that's what gives the enchilada-y flavor! :o)

  79. I made this during the week without the crockpot. Instead I shredded a rotisserie chicken and heated all the ingredients together in the pot. I also served with diced avocado on top. It was quick and tasted AMAZING!

  80. I made this in my crockpot last night & less than 24 hours later, it's ALL GONE!!! This was by far the best soup I've ever had! I found myself craving it during the day. This is the 3rd recipe of yours that I've tried & they have all been amazing! Keep on posting! :)

    I made this yesterday evening...all I can say is AWESOME! The only thing I did different was I cooked it in the oven instead of the slow cooker. Started it too late! Oh, I did end up adding one more cup of chicken broth to make it a bit soupier. Definitely will be making this again! BTW, I LOVE your recipes! Thank you so much! Your site is making WW much more manageable for me.

  91. I made this tonight with a can of mild enchilada sauce in place of the tomato soup, and a tsp of chipotle chili powder in place of the chili itself. I also threw in a handful of pulverized tortilla chips in during the cooking stage. Yum!!!

  94. Absolutely delish!! Didn't have canned tomatoes so used 3 fresh ones diced and used a whole carton of chicken broth for the extra liquid. Also used 4 bone-in chicken breasts, shredded 3 and used the other in chicken salad. The soup was very flavorful and hearty so I served with a green salad with oil & vinegar, a perfect Monday night dinner!

    I really love your site and all the recipes. They've been a hit every time!!

  95. I made this today with 16 oz. of leftover chicken, and I added the juice of one lime as suggested by another commenter, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly.This was the first recipe I tried from this site. I could not believe how wonderful this was! We are both dieting and measured portions, and I had intended to freeze the other four, but that's not happening. We'll be finishing this off this week. I'm off to check out other recipes. Thank you so much.

  96. Hi Gina,

    I made this yesterday so I can have an easy lunch to bring to work for the week. I really didn't think anything could beat the Three Bean Turkey Chili - but this soup does! It's hearty without being heavy, has a nice kick, and the flavors work perfectly together. The only thing I did differently was add a small can of fire-roasted green chiles - an ingredient I discovered through your chili recipe and just love!

    ReplyDelete
  97. Just ate this for lunch... YUMMMMMM!

    ReplyDelete
  98. OMG! I made this tonight and it was fantastic! All three kids, the husband and the MIL loved it and so did I. I threw in a can of enchilada sauce and a few cut up corn tortillas but followed everything else to a *t*. Thank you for another great recipe.

  100. I stumbled acrss your site last week and ever since my family has been very happy at dinnertime! This is the 3rd recipe of yours that I have tried and it was fantastic. I didn't have the chili in adobo sauce so I added some sirachi chili paste instead and also chopped up jalapenos and served those on top at the end. It was delish! My husband isn't a soup guy and he was even full from this! Thank you!

    ReplyDelete
  101. Made this tonight. This is very yummy & filling. I'm a pretty new crockpot cooker and will definitely try more of your recipes! I did use Chobani plain yogurt instead of the FF sour cream - it was great!

    ReplyDelete
  102. Is there a way to sub the chipotle and adobo sauce with just regular enchilada sauce? I am wondering how that would turn out?

    ReplyDelete
  103. I have to try this. It's cooking right now. I had to make some substitutions but I think it will be fine. I didn't have the adobe chili so I used green taco sauce, green chilies and cayenne. And since I only had canned corn I will add that about 3 hours into the process. Smells good so far.

    ReplyDelete
  104. Phenomenal recipe!!!! I loved that it was only 290 cals, had great flavor, and could be made during my lunch hour and ready to eat by the time we all got home! My husband is somewhat of a picky eater and he rates it a 5 out of 5!!! (only substitution, fresh tomatoes vs. canned)

  110. Gina,
    Another winner!! LOVE IT! I, too, thought the ingredients were remeniscent of Taco Chicken Chili or Santa Fe chicken,(both of which we make ALL THE TIME we love so much!) But the chipotles in adobo sauce kick the intensity up a notch and gave this soup a flavor all its own. We love it!!
    Thanks to you I have discovered the wonderful smokey flavor of chipotle chiles. LOVE THEM!! Can't wait for your next recipe! :)

  112. I followed this recipe pretty much to a T. Added slightly more cumin. That's about it. I haven't had a bowl without sour cream yet, but my boyfriend loves it with our without. I also decided to crunch up some tortilla chips on top of it.

    I love this soup!

    My favorite recipe on the website so far.

  114. Just discovered you through Pinterest (not sure how I haven't found you before?!) and you are AMAZING. My husband and I are on a health food kick, but we live with my parents (who pay for our groceries) who are NOT on a health food kick, and your recipes are PERFECT. They are healthy but they don't "taste" healthy, so even our picky eaters and those who turn up their noses at "healthy" food gobble up your recipes with no questions asked. You are a godsend! You're on our menu three times this week, and I can't wait to discover more of your amazing recipes. Can't thank you enough for doing what you're doing!!!

  115. This chicken enchilada soup is the BEST. I made it just as stated - so filling and comforting. I think the cheese and fat-free sour cream sends this recipe over the top. I also added some Weight Watchers salsa chips for some crunch. I just LOVE your site. It's amazing and so helpful to my weight loss goals. Healthy food can be good and your web site proves it. I love that I can feed my family your recipes and they really enjoy them all. Keep up the good work!

  117. Just made this yesterday and did not disappoint! I used a can of Rotel instead of plain tomatoes and it was fantastic.

  118. This is the best soup I have ever made. It was really simple, yet AMAZING. I gave the recipe to a couple friends who also fell in love with it. I'll definitely be making this again. Thank you so much for the recipe! Your site is, without a doubt, the best one there is.

  119. This soup was DELICIOUS! I didn't have the time to use to crock pot, so I just cooked it in a big pot on the stove. The chipotle peppers really gave it a great flavor. This will definitely be a regular in my recipe planning, and a great recipe for entertaining, too! Loved it! Thanks! :)

  120. I made this yesterday and I found it to be very bland. It hardly had any flavor at all. Did I do something wrong?

    Talk to me about the chipoltles in adobo sauce. What should I have done there? I just used 2 tsp of the sauce they were canned in. I have a feeling this is where I messed up.

  121. this is in the crock pot now! By taking out cheese, sour cream and corn - and exchanging tomato sauce & chipolte for enchilada sauce - it brought the points down to 4pts per serving! Thanks Gina! Im sure itll taste as good as it smells right now!

  123. Joining the ranks of everyone who says "I made this tonight and it's delicious". Honestly, it's so good. I didn't have the chipoltle chili so I just did chili powder and paprika.

    Amazing recipe, thanks so much.

  126. Is there a way to make this without a crock pot? I'm in college and I want to make this, but don't have one.

  127. I have now made this soup 4 times in the last 2 weeks. My family loves it. Thank you so much for a great recipe. Things I changed over the remakes to fit us for anyone who is interested. With corn, beans and cheese my DH thought the chicken and beans was too much so I left out the chicken once and beans the last 2 times. The original was a little thin for us but didn't want to add flour so I added 1/2c corn mesa the last few times I made it. I put it into the cold soup then let cook in the crockpot it added great flavor like Chili's enchilada soup(with the chicken very good). When I added the mesa the corn was too much for my hubby but the kids loved it. I haved served with sour cream, cheese, avocado,corn cut off the cob, corn tortilla chips and even some oven toasted tortilla strips for on top. This recipe was Fun, Tasted great and one we will be coming back to time after time.

  129. This soup is AMAZING. The best part about crock pots is that they make multiple meals!! I diced my own roma tomatoes for this one though. Making my 2nd batch today =]

  134. We had this for dinner last night, but cooked it in the Dutch Oven on the stove. It was still good, but would have been even more wonderful slow-cooked. Can't wait to have Round 2 tomorrow.

    Our only modification was that my husband didn't want to shred the chicken, so chopped it up finely before he put it into the soup pot. I think that was more work than it was worth. :)
