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!

THE BEST CHICKEN TORTILLA SOUP



The Best Chicken Tortilla Soup image

I'm in love with this soup!! A very good friend of mine made this for me recently and I fell in love. I'm very picky about my Tortilla Soup and this by far the best ever. She makes hers in the crock pot and I have to agree, that it's easy and tastes just wonderful!! Whatever you do, DO NOT skip the garnishes! They are the icing on the cake! UPDATE April 2010: Obviously I've made this so many times I never even look at the recipe anymore! But I wanted to add some variations that I play around with that are great. Like many reviewers black beans and corn are great additions. Sometimes I add them to the leftovers (if there are any :-) so that is feels like something new the next day! I have also made it several times with shredded pork which turns it into a pork carnitas type of soup. If you like it on the spicy and smoke side buy a can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce and mince up one or two and add it. And lastly, a little swizzle of half and half or heavy cream just minutes before serving makes it a creamy tortilla soup that is wonderful and it is also a good way to tone down the heat if it got away from you...

3 -4 large tomatoes, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced

Tips:

  • Utilize Rotisserie Chicken: Consider using a store-bought rotisserie chicken to save time and effort in preparing the chicken for the soup. Simply remove the meat from the bones and shred it.
  • Enhance Flavor with Roasted Vegetables: Before adding them to the soup, roast the Anaheim peppers, tomatoes, and onions to intensify their flavors. This adds a smoky, caramelized depth to the soup.
  • Use Homemade Chicken Broth: If possible, use homemade chicken broth instead of store-bought broth to elevate the soup's flavor. You can make chicken broth using chicken bones, vegetables, and herbs.
  • Add Mexican Spices: Incorporate a blend of Mexican spices, such as chili powder, cumin, and paprika, to give the soup an authentic Mexican flair. Adjust the amount of spices to suit your preferred level of heat.
  • Garnish Generously: Don't forget to garnish your soup with a variety of toppings. Suggested garnishes include sour cream, shredded cheese, chopped cilantro, sliced avocado, and tortilla chips.

Conclusion:

This Anaheim Chicken Tortilla Soup is a delightful and versatile dish that combines the vibrant flavors of Mexican cuisine with the comfort of a classic soup.
