How to Make Crock Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup
  1. Place the chicken breasts in your crock pot and season them generously with salt and pepper. Add the finely diced onion and minced garlic on top for a flavor-packed base.
  2. Pour in the chicken broth and a cup of water. This will create the perfect, rich broth that serves as the soup's heart.
  3. Open the can of corn and pour it in undrained, along with the diced tomatoes with green chiles and the enchilada sauce. This blend will bring vibrant color and flavor to your soup.
  4. Sprinkle the taco seasoning and chili powder over the top. Stir gently to ensure that the spices are evenly distributed throughout the soup.
  5. Cover your crock pot and set it to cook on low for 8 to 10 hours. The longer, the better, as this allows the flavors to meld beautifully!
  6. About 15 minutes before you're ready to serve, carefully remove the chicken from the crock pot and shred it using two forks. It should be incredibly tender!
  7. Return the shredded chicken back into the pot. Stir well to mix the flavors and let it cook for an additional 15 minutes to warm through.
  8. Ladle the soup into bowls and top with shredded cheese and crunchy tortilla strips for that heavenly mix of textures!
