Warm, bold, and flavorful enchilada soup made easily 100% in your crockpot. All the flavors you love about decadent chicken enchiladas in a simple, easy and healthy crockpot soup.
Is it just me, or does a long weekend make anyone else feel more tired? I feel like I spend the entire time trying to get more done, rather than taking it easy. I did have a super fun Saturday night, however. It included maple whiskey and cards against humanity. Obviously my kind of evening.
I spend a lot of the weekend trying to meal plan/prep for the week, and grocery shopping. Ummm, grocery shopping takes me like 2 hours. It starts off like this wonderful, fun experience, then I realize I still have 3 more stores to go to in order to get all my favorite specialty items, and I am totally over the whole experience since I just slowly made my way through Sprouts for the last hour and a half.
Reason # 984058085 that I am in total, unconditional love with my crockpot. I can toss some ingredients in when I’m getting ready in the morning with little-no prep, and I come home to bold, delicious and flavorful chicken enchilada soup. The chicken comes out perfect every time–by the time you remove it to shred it, it is practically falling apart on it’s own.
This soup is so simple and easy, and it also provides that warm fall and winter comfort we all crave this time of year. Mexican food is kind of my go-to. It’s always full of flavor, and it never disappoints, and this soup is no exception!
