Slow Cooker Chicken Fajita Soup

Why You'll Love This Soup

This soup takes everything you love about chicken fajitas and puts it into one easy slow cooker meal. The chicken becomes tender as it cooks, while the tomatoes, peppers, onions, corn, and beans create a flavorful and hearty broth.

Using fajita seasoning keeps the ingredient list simple while adding plenty of smoky, savory flavor. You can use a store-bought seasoning packet or your favorite homemade fajita seasoning.

I also love that this recipe is easy to customize. Add extra vegetables, make it spicier with jalapeños, or switch up the toppings depending on what you have in the refrigerator.

Ingredients Needed for Chicken Fajita Soup

• Skinless chicken breasts - Boneless, skinless chicken breasts work well in this soup. They cook right in the slow cooker and can easily be shredded before serving.
• 2 (10.75 ounce) cans condensed cream of chicken soup (98$ fat-free)
• 1 cup fat-free salsa - use your favorite brand
• frozen corn - or canned
• Black beans, rinsed and drained - are a convenient and versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. They are a great source of protein and fiber, and can be added to salads, soups, stews, and even dips.
• 1 ½ cups water
• 1 package of Fajita Seasoning Mix (I used Mrs. Dash)
• 1 cup of low-fat cheddar

Step 1 Spray slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray. Place chicken into slow cooker.

Step 2 In a bowl, mix together cream of chicken soup, salsa, corn, black beans, water, and faita seasoning.

Pour over chicken in slow cooker. Cook on low for 4-6 hours (or high for 2-3 hours).

Step 4 Remove chicken and shred using two forks.Put chicken back into slow cooker, add cheese, and let cook for 15 more minutes.

Storage

Store leftover Chicken Fajita Soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

You can also freeze the soup for up to 3 months. Let it cool completely before transferring it to freezer-safe containers. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave.

If you plan to freeze individual portions, leave a little room at the top of the container because the soup will expand as it freezes.

Serving Suggestions

There are so many fun ways to serve this soup. Top each bowl with shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese, diced avocado, sour cream, fresh cilantro, sliced jalapeños, or green onions.

Tortilla chips are perfect for dipping, or you can crush a few chips over the top for some crunch.

For a bigger meal, serve the soup with a simple side salad, cornbread, or warm flour tortillas.
