This fall I have been planning to try more soup recipes out. So far I have only tried one but it was such a success that we’ve had it twice and I’m encouraged to try more soup recipes. Today I bring to you the first success of the fall season, CrockPot Creamy Chicken Enchilada Soup. I found this soup at Scattered Thoughts of a Crafty Mom and adjusted it for our taste buds!
We’ve been on a big mexican food kick lately so this seemed like the perfect soup to try out first. We were heading over to my sisters, as we do many nights lately, because she currently has 10 puppies at her house. We have dinner and puppy playtime nights. Since she has cooked multiple dinners for us I decided it was our turn to bring something. Soup in the crock pot sounded like the perfect option! We ate the entire pot of it and all loved it!
Ingredients
- 32 oz. chicken broth
- 2 chicken breasts
- 2 cans Verde Enchilada Sauce
- 1 4 oz. can green chiles
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp chile powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 cup of frozen corn (defrosted)
- 1 8 oz. block of cream cheese (softened)
- 3/4 cup of uncooked instant rice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (if needed to thicken up the soup)
- Shredded cheddar cheese to top, if desired
Instructions
- Put the chicken, chicken broth, enchilada sauce, green chiles, water and spices into your crockpot.
- Cook on low for 7 hours
- After 7 hours, shred up the chicken in the crockpot
- Mix in corn, rice, and cream cheese (cut into pieces)
- Cook on low for another 30 minutes or more if the cream cheese has not melted completely. Stir to help it melt.
- If soup is not thick enough: Mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 1/8 cup of water and add to soup and cook for an additional 10-20 minutes
- Serve and top with cheddar cheese if desired!
The first time I made the soup I used my sisters crockpot because it’s bigger. The soup was plenty thick and didn’t require the cornstarch. The second time I made it in my crockpot and it was not thickening up at all so I had to add in the cornstarch. I’m not sure what the difference was other than the different crockpots. But it was delicious both ways! It all depends on how thick you want your soup.
I love soups in the winter time. So I’m adding this to my stack. A variety is the spice of life, haha.
This looks so delicious! I am going to try this with my kids.
I adore a delicious soup on a cold winter’s night! Thanks so much for the recipe. Pinning and making this winter!
I would love for you to share this at my Show Me Saturday party. We go live each Saturday morning at 7:00am EST!

What size Verde Enchilada Sauce? It just say two cans..!
I believe they are 8 ounces. At my store they only come in one size.

Hello,
I love this soup and have made it a few times. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to find the actual recipe for it anymore? Do you still have it available?
Hi Taylar!
I am so sorry about that. The problem has been fixed and the recipe should be back for you! I hope you enjoy it often!
