Hearty Crockpot Chicken Enchilada Soup

Hearty Crockpot Chicken Enchilada Soup

Soup season is my favorite. It really hits the spot on those cold, chilly days. And if it just so happens that a soup recipe can also be made in the crockpot? Then that’s even better!

Recently we tried this “new to us” recipe for chicken enchilada soup. My girls were a bit skeptical and ultimately refused to try it. Whomp, whomp. But my husband Kirk, and I both loved it.

If you’re looking for a hearty (and healthy!) soup recipe to add into your mealtime rotation, this one is a winner in my book.
