Make this comforting, creamy chicken tortilla soup easily in a slow cooker or on the stovetop. It uses simple pantry ingredients and rotisserie chicken for quick weeknight meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works well)
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chilies, undrained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can corn, drained
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or cream cheese, softened
  • Tortilla chips, for serving
  • Optional toppings: shredded cheese, avocado, cilantro, lime wedges

Instructions

  1. Combine the shredded chicken, cream of chicken soup, diced tomatoes and green chilies, black beans, corn, chicken broth, chili powder, cumin, oregano, and garlic powder in a slow cooker.
  2. Stir all ingredients together until mixed.
  3. Cook on low for 4 to 6 hours or on high for 2 to 3 hours.
  4. About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the heavy cream or softened cream cheese until the soup is smooth and creamy.
  5. Taste the soup and add salt and pepper as needed.
  6. Ladle the soup into bowls. Serve immediately with tortilla chips and your choice of toppings.

Notes

  • For a stovetop method, combine all ingredients except the cream in a large pot. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 20 minutes. Stir in the cream during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
  • Adjust the chili powder for your preferred spice level.
  • If you prefer a thicker soup, mash about 1/4 cup of the black beans against the side of the pot before adding the cream.
