How to Make Salsa Chicken Soup in a Crock Pot
Aunt Lou here.
I was going through some of our recipes the other day, and I came across a comment on the Creamy Salsa Crock Pot Chicken recipe Cris made a while back. The reader said they would want to make it into a soup. I thought that was a fantastic idea and gave it a try. Now you have this incredible Crock Pot Salsa Chicken Soup. It is filling and delicious!
Around my house, we usually like thicker soups. So, by not draining the cans of beans or corn, there was plenty of liquid for our taste with the cooking juices from the chicken. However, if you want a thinner soup, you could always add in some chicken broth.
Now, I will have an upset 10 year old if I do not include this next part. Ryder said I had to tell you that if you like shredded cheddar, you should definitely sprinkle some on top because it really added to the soup. I happen to agree with my budding chef!
