Chicken fajita soup ingredients list

So many simple ingredients, just throw them all in a pot and let them simmer until they’re extra flavorful and chewy! Exact measurements are on the recipe card at the end of the post.

• Chicken: Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts for easy shredding and a lean protein base.
• Cream of chicken soup: Adds a creamy texture and savory chicken flavor. Canned or homemade, whatever works for you!
• Salsa: Choose your favorite flavor and heat level: mild, medium or hot! It infuses the soup with Mexican spices and a rich tomato flavor.
• Frozen corn: Adds sweetness and also gives the chicken fajita soup a wonderful texture. Frozen corn thaws perfectly during cooking.
• Black beans: Provide fiber, protein and an earthy flavor. Rinse and drain so that no excess liquid enters the soup.
• Chicken bouillon: Creates the liquid base and simmers all the ingredients together.
• Cumin & Coriander: These warming spices bring out the Mexican flair of the dish. Cumin adds smokiness, while coriander adds a fresh, citrusy note.
• Cheddar cheese: Melted cheese makes the soup richer and creamier.
• Toppings (optional): Customize your slow cooker chicken fajita soup with your favorites! Some toppings I like to add are diced tomatoes, lime slices, cilantro, tortilla strips, and red onion and green pepper for extra flavor and texture.

Make fajita soup from the slow cooker

This chicken fajita soup is so delicious, and I love that you can just ‘set it and forget it!’ There’s nothing better than coming home to a bowl of this hearty, flavorful soup.

1. Add chicken: Spray your slow cooker with cooking spray. Then add your chicken to the bottom of the slow cooker.
2. Broth mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chicken soup cream, salsa, corn, black beans, chicken stock, cumin, and coriander. Then pour over the top of the chicken.
3. Slow cooking: Cook on low for 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours.
4. Shred chicken, melt cheese: Remove the chicken and pull it apart with two forks. Place the shredded chicken back in the slow cooker, then add the shredded cheese. Continue cooking until the cheese is melted, about 15 minutes.
5. Add toppings and serve: Top with tortilla strips, diced tomatoes, onion, cilantro, green pepper and limes (or any of your favorite toppings) and then enjoy warm!
