Enjoy all the flavor of Chicken Enchiladas in slow-cooker soup. This scrumptious skinny soup takes no time at all to toss together.

When it’s time for dinner, all you need to do is shred the chicken and ladle heaping spoonfuls of this deliciously healthy dish into your dinner bowls.

Though we’ve topped our Slow Cooker Skinny Chicken Enchilada Soup with homemade whole-grain corn tortilla strips, you can save prep time by topping your soup with a variety of healthy choices.

  1. I have made this 4 times since I discovered the recipe.
    It is perfect in every way. Please folks – try this one !

  2. Not trying this because of high sodium number! Why is that so high, healthy should be lower in salt, shouldn’t it?

    1. Becky, Feel free to reduce the salt content or eliminate completely. We expect most people will adjust the
      salt based on individual tastes and needs. 🙂

    1. Ashley, there are 8 (1 cup) servings in the recipes. We list all of our servings before the nutritional information under the title! 🙂

  3. Dumb question- is the chicken supposed to be raw and cubed when first putting it in the crock pot? Or is it supposed to be pre-cooked and cubed?

    1. Hi Maria! It’s not a dumb question at all. The chicken in the recipe is raw, and will slow-cook with the other ingredients. This will make it tender and easily shredded with a fork. Have a great day!

  4. Where is the cholesterol coming from in this recipe? Am trying to reduce that number but don’t know what to cut
