Have you ever had Crock Pot Chile Verde Soup? It is full of tender pieces of pork and a bright and flavorful broth that always has everyone asking for seconds! It is also so simple to throw together.
Crock Pot Chile Verde
We found the original recipe for this new family favorite at our house in Gooseberry Patch’s Everyday Slow Cooker. We loved the flavor of the chilies and the northern beans. And, the pork was just incredible– so tender and the perfect compliment to the delicious broth!

Slow Cooker Recommendations
Since this recipe has a browning step, we love to use one of our stove top slow cooker models to brown the pork in our crock and then transfer to the cooking unit– keeping it a true, one-pot dish. We also love our automatic stirring crock pot for most of our soups because it keeps those flavors all stirred up during cooking. BUT– truth be told, I am head over heels in LOVE with this all-in-one slow cooker that has a browning setting to allow you to brown your meat IN the crock pot. However–all that said– any 5 to 6 qt slow cooker should work just fine for this recipe.
