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.

Here’s a Few Pro-level Secrets and Tricks:

Chicken thighs work well in this recipe as they release a lot of collagen when slow-cooked, making the broth rich and flavorful. This is what gives chicken noodle and chicken and rice soups their “comfort food” quality.
If you wish, use bone-in chicken thighs or a whole chicken for an even more flavorful stock. Just be sure to remove the meat from the bone before serving.
Don’t forget to pick up some egg noodles to serve with the slow cooker chicken noodle. Noodles will absorb liquid quickly and can get too soft if added at the beginning of cooking. That’s why we wait until the end of cooking to add them to the broth.
Be careful with the dills. A little goes a long way.
Prefer cilantro over parsley? Use it in this recipe to add a refreshing touch to your slow cooker chicken noodle.
Keep the stock for later uses. It’s perfect for other soups like wonton and egg drop.
Feel like really indulging yourself? Top your bowl of chicken noodle with crispy wonton strips! Buy wonton or eggroll wraps in the international or freezer section of your grocery store. Then, cut into desired size strips and pan fry in hot oil until golden brown.

Conclusion:

This recipe is the perfect comfort food for a cold day. The rich broth is made from chicken thighs that have been slow-cooked for hours, and the noodles are perfectly al-dente. This is sure to become a family favorite.
