Slow Cooker Tortilla Soup is one of my family favorites, and although I have other recipes on my website, just had to add this one too… so GOOD!
- In a 5-6 quart slow cooker, combine chicken breasts, onion, garlic, tomatoes, broth, salt, pepper and green chile.
- Cover. Cook on Low for 7-8 hours.
- Remove Chicken Breasts and shred with two forks or shredding claws and transfer back to slow cooker and stir in soup. Cover to keep it hot!
- In large skillet, heat oil and add tortilla strips. Cook, stirring, over medium heat until crisp; drain on paper towels, or use pre-made from the grocery store.
- Place a 1 or 2 tablespoons of shredded Monterey Jack cheese (or cheese of your choice) in each serving bowl, if desired.
- Ladle tortilla soup into bowls and top with tortilla strips.
Optional: Dust with chopped cilantro and/or parsley.
Happy Crocking!

Looks delicious!!! How do you adjust recipes for a 7qrt slow cooker, or do you need to adjust at all? Thanks Jen.
Hi Amanda, yes it is important to have your slow cooker 1/2 to 2/3 full to crock properly. I have doubled this recipe with my 7 quart, and put some of it in the freezer for a meal at a later time. Just remember to label it, and date it, as best used in 3-4 months. Enjoy!
I know the flavored must really cook well together for 7-8 hours, but if I’m short on time can I cook it on high for less time? If so, how long on high do you suggest?
You can crock on high for 3 1/2 to 4 hours and it should work fine. Enjoy! 😀
Thank you! Going to try it for dinner tonight!
