Directions for Crock Pot Green Enchilada Chicken Soup

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken and Broth Base

To start, place the chicken breasts or thighs, green enchilada sauce, and chicken broth into the Crock Pot. Set your slow cooker to low heat and allow the ingredients to cook for 6 to 8 hours. The long, slow cooking time ensures that the chicken becomes incredibly tender and absorbs all the rich flavors of the broth and enchilada sauce.

Step 2: Shred the Chicken

After the cooking time has passed, carefully remove the chicken from the Crock Pot and shred it using two forks. The chicken should be perfectly cooked and easy to pull apart. Once shredded, return the chicken to the  Crock Pot.

Step 3: Add the Creamy Ingredients

Now, it’s time to add the  creamy elements to the  soup. Add the Monterey Jack cheese, cream cheese cubes, half and half or Greek yogurt, and green salsa to the slow cooker. Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure the cheeses melt and the soup becomes smooth and creamy. Allow the soup to cook for an additional 30 minutes on low, giving the cheese time to fully melt and incorporate into the broth.

Step 4: Taste and Adjust Seasoning

Taste your soup and add salt and pepper to suit your preferences. You can also adjust the amount of green salsa to control the level of spice in the soup.

Step 5: Serve and Garnish

Once the soup has reached your desired consistency and flavor, it’s time to serve. Ladle the green enchilada chicken soup into bowls and top with your favorite garnishes. Sliced avocado, fresh cilantro, green onions, and sour cream are all great additions that complement the rich and creamy soup base.
