SKINNY SLOW-COOKER CHICKEN TORTILLA SOUP



Skinny Slow-Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup image

Cooler days call for comfort food, and this guilt-free version of chicken tortilla soup is just the ticket.

Provided by By Betty Crocker Kitchens

Categories     Entree

Time 3h5m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon oilve oil
3 cups low sodium chicken broth
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 can fire roasted diced tomatoes (or regular if you prefer less spicy)
1 can Old El Paso™ Green Chiles
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
4 cups cooked and shredded chicken (or rotisserie chicken)
1 (1 ounce) packed Old El Paso™ taco seasoning mix
1 can steamed corn, drained and rinsed
2 cups canola oil
2 8" Old El Paso™ flour tortillas for burritos
1 tablespoon Old El Paso™ taco seasoning mix
Cilantro, Old El Paso™ sliced Jalapeños, low fat sour cream, low fat shredded cheese

Steps:

  • Heat oil over medium/high heat in a medium skillet. Add onion and garlic and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. I like mine to be a bit under-sauteed, to keep a bit of their crunch.
  • Once sauteed, add the onion and garlic to a slow cooker over high heat. Add in all other ingredients except for tortillas and garnishes. Stir to combine.
  • Heat on high, covered, for 2-3 hours, or on low for 4-5 hours.
  • Before serving, prepare the tortilla crisps: In a small saucepan, heat the canola oil over medium/high heat.
  • Spray each tortilla with olive oil and sprinkle with the taco seasoning. Use a pastry brush to spread out the taco seasoning evenly.
  • Using a pizza cutter, cut each tortilla into 1/2 inch strips.
  • Cook the strips in batches, about 2-4 minutes or until browned. Some of the taco seasoning will come off into the oil, and that's okay.
  • Using a slotted spoon, remove the strips and allow to drain on a paper towel.
  • When ready to serve the soup, serve garnished with extra cilantro, low fat sour cream, jalapeños, and tortilla strips. Or any of your favorite toppings!
  • Enjoy!

PILLSBURY SLOW COOKER CHICKEN TORTILLA SOUP



Pillsbury Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup image

My Youngest Daughter knows how I love recipe books and brought me home this smallish paperback Pillsbury Slow-Cooker Recipe Book where I found this recipe. It is easy peasy, the fragrance whilst it cooked made the house smell so amazing, and the flavor was so very delicous. I have found myself a new comfort food!!! The recipe suggests for a nutricious option adding a thinly sliced zucchini to the soup ingredients. It also states 4 servings, but I found that we had leftovers with four servings which I am NOT complaining about.

SLOW-COOKER CHICKEN TORTILLA SOUP



SLOW-COOKER CHICKEN TORTILLA SOUP image

Categories     Soup/Stew     Chicken     Quick & Easy

Yield 8 bowls

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 lb. shredded, cooked chicken
1 (15 oz) can whole peeled tomatoes, mashed
1 (10 oz) can enchilada sauce
i med. onion, chopped
1 (4 oz) can chopped green chili peppers
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups water
1 (14.5 oz) can chicken broth
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp. black pepper
1 bay leaf
1 (10 oz) frozen corn
1 TBS chopped cilantro
7 corn tortillas
vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Place all ingredients through garlic in a slow cooker. Pour in water and chicken broth, and add rest of ingredients. Cover and cook on low setting for 6-8 hours or on high setting 3-4 hours. Preheat oven to 400F. Lightly brush both sides of tortillas with oil. Cut into strips, then spread on baking sheet. Bake until crisp, about 10-15 min. To serve, sprinkle over soup.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor and nutrients to your soup. Some good options include onions, carrots, celery, bell peppers, and corn.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices: Cumin, chili powder, and paprika are all good choices. You can also add a bay leaf or two for extra flavor.
  • Use a good quality chicken broth: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup. If you don't have any on hand, you can use water instead, but the soup will be less flavorful.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: This is important for food safety. You can check to see if the chicken is cooked by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken. The internal temperature should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the soup with your favorite toppings: Some good options include shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado, and salsa.
