Food Pairings
For a complete Mexican-inspired feast, serve Slow Cooker Green Enchilada Chicken Soup with warm corn tortillas, homemade guacamole, and a refreshing pitcher of freshly squeezed limeade or a pitcher of margaritas for the adults.
FAQ
Can I use a different protein instead of chicken? Absolutely! Feel free to substitute shredded cooked pork, beef, or even tofu for the chicken to suit your dietary preferences or use up leftover protein you have on hand. Can I make this soup on the stovetop instead of using a slow cooker? Certainly! Simply combine all the ingredients in a large pot or Dutch oven and simmer over medium-low heat for about 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
