Copycat Chick-fil-A Chicken Tortilla Soup

This Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Soup reminded me a lot of Chick-fil-A’s chicken tortilla soup, which is my favorite. I wait patiently every year for them to add it to the menu. I am SO excited to have a copycat recipe and be able to eat this soup anytime I want! This is super simple and tastes great! We ate this for dinner and lunch for the rest of the week. It tastes just as good, if not better, reheated.

How to Make Chicken Tortilla Soup

This soup is super easy to make with only a few simple ingredients. Simply place boneless skinless chicken breast in the bottom of the slow cooker. Add black beans, corn, Rotel tomatoes, chicken broth, navy beans, taco seasoning, whole kernel corn, and cream of chicken soup. Cover and cook on LOW. Shred chicken with two forks and return to the crock pot. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh cilantro and tortilla strips.

Is Chicken Tortilla Soup spicy? There is a kick of heat from the Rotel. Use mild Rotel if you are worried about the heat.

If you make a freezer meal with the ingredients you don’t need to thaw the bag before cooking. You can place the contents of the freezer bag in the crockpot and cook.
Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
