Spicy Chicken Soup

The season is upon us again to get the soups simmering on the stove top or in our slow cookers.
I love coming home to a meal all ready that just took minutes to assemble in the morning, and greets us with wonderful aroma that says "Welcome Home" and we enjoy a steaming bowl of soup. If your slow cooker is way back in the cupboard collecting dust, bring it out and start using it regularly. Just for this recipe alone, you will be glad you did.

    You've just reminded me to dust off my clow cooker for the season, can't wait! This soup sounds great, I like the idea of putting the salsa in.

    Charlotte, I want to try this for sure! What's not to like? Nothing like coming home to dinner that's ready.

    yes, I put the chicken in frozen, nothing simpler than that. as a matter of fact it is one of my quick go to recipes when there is not a lot of time to prepare and i am having a busy evening.

    This is in my crockpot right now. Only thing I did different was to add a can of Hatch red enchilada sauce instead of salsa. The kitchen smells delish, cannot wait for supper in about one hour.
    Thanks for sharing this recipe :)

    I have a similar recipe; I can't wait to try this one! My suggestion is squeeze a lime slice just at serving time; it will bring it alive.. Thanks for all your hard work. Peggy

    This was fantastic- SO easy to throw in the crockpot before all of us left for the day. served it with sour cream, tortilla chips & cheese and left plenty for another couple meals... off it went into the freezer!! Thanks for another winner.

    Hello, We live in Annapolis, MD. There is a wonderful Mexican restaurant in our neighborhood. I made this soup tonight, and my family loved it. My 16 year old thought it was the exact soup she gets at the restaurant.

    This is a GREAT recipe! My husband (who hates most soups) ate two bowls for lunch and is on his third bowl for the day- he requested more for dinner! One thing I like about this recipe is its ability to stretch to feed a huge crowd. I have served this exact recipe over rice (I made 8 servings of rice for this amount of soup) with sour cream, cheese and tortilla chips and it was easily enough to feed 10 adults (with leftovers!) Thanks for a recipe that helps me be hospitable on a budget!
