LOW CARB CHICKEN ENCHILADA SOUP (SLOW COOKER, CROCK POT)



Low Carb Chicken Enchilada Soup (Slow Cooker, Crock Pot) image

Brothy, spicy soup with big chunks of chicken breasts. Recipe modified from a low-carb recipe to omit or substitute hard-to-find ingredients (at least hard to find at my grocery store). I ate it along with a green salad. If you're not low-carbing, you can add corn, beans or serve with tortilla chips.
