Easy Chicken Tortilla Soup


This is seriously one of THE easiest recipes. So easy we have it often, those days I forget to thaw chicken the night before or just want dinner done when I get home.
 


 
In the crock pot (with a disposable liner)
 
12 oz chicken stock
3 Tbs homemade cream of chicken mix (cornstarch, seasoning and powdered milk)
Mix those 2 up a little, nothing serious
1C salsa. I blend ours cause hubbby doesn't like chunks
1C corn
beans if you like them
combine that all together
2 frozen chicken breast, thawed if you need it sooner than 8 hours.
If the chicken isn't mostly covered in liquid, add some spicy v8 or more salsa/chicken stock
 I cook hours 8-10 hours on low then
I just shred the chicken with a fork just before it's time to dish up, add some cheese, tortilla strips and sour cream, cilantro if we have it around.
 
Super easy, delish and not a budget buster! We pretty much have all of those things on hand other than cilantro and none of them are expensive.

  1. What are the measurements for your homemade cream of chicken?

    1. I use this recipe, minus the bullion, if I ever find one without msg, dyes and artificial stuff I'd use it, until then I just use chicken stock instead of the water in her recipe, I also add a little nutmeg :)
