Slow Cooker Green Chicken Enchilada Soup Recipe

Ingredients:

• - 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• - 4 cups chicken broth
• - 2 cups green enchilada sauce
• - 1 can (15 oz) fire-roasted corn, drained
• - 1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilis, undrained
• - 1/2 cup salsa verde
• - 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• - 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
• - 1 cup heavy cream
• - 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese (plus extra for serving)
• - Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Place the boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the bottom of your slow cooker. Pour the chicken broth and green enchilada sauce over the chicken.

2. Add the fire-roasted corn, diced tomatoes with green chilis (including the liquid), salsa verde, ground cumin, garlic powder, and salt to the slow cooker. Stir to combine all the ingredients.

3. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.

4. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks. Return the shredded chicken to the slow cooker.

5. Stir in the heavy cream and shredded Monterey Jack cheese, allowing the cheese to melt and the soup to become creamy and smooth. Let the soup cook for an additional 15-20 minutes on low to allow the flavors to meld.

6. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if needed. If you prefer a thicker soup, you can mash some of the corn or add a slurry of cornstarch and water to thicken it to your desired consistency.

7. Serve the soup hot, garnished with extra shredded Monterey Jack cheese and fresh cilantro if desired.
