All the flavor of chicken enchiladas in a slow cooker soup!
Enjoy all the flavor of Chicken Enchiladas in slow-cooker soup. This scrumptious skinny soup takes no time at all to toss together. From start to slow-cook, you only need 15 minutes to prep and mix all of the ingredients. Then set it and forget it! 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. Diced avocados taste absolutely incredible on top of this soup. A spoonful of fresh pico de gallo, diced jalapenos, or shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese are some other tasty options. Mix, match, and enjoy!

I have made this 4 times since I found the recipe.
It is absolutely fabulous !
I am going to make this. No oven which is great since it is 90 degrees here.
Not trying this because of high sodium number! Why is that so high, healthy should be lower in salt, shouldn’t it?
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. 🙂
How many does this serve? Looks yummy!
Ashley, there are 8 (1 cup) servings in the recipes. We list all of our servings before the nutritional information under the title! 🙂
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?
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!
Why is this so many points with WW?
Hi Karyn! The points were incorrect. This recipe is only 2 points! I have also updated the recipe.
Where is the cholesterol coming from in this recipe? Am trying to reduce that number but don’t know what to cut
Susan, It’s coming primarily from the chicken.
