With minimal chopping, this Chicken Soup is perfect on busy days when you return home and want dinner ready. For more fulfilling soup recipes, you can check out my Healthy Spinach Soup Recipe, Tomato White Beans Soup, Creamy Chicken Tortellini Soup, and Creamy Pumpkin Soup. It differs from other Mexican Chicken Soups, but the flavors are spot on. It’s creamy with some tang from the tomatoes, and the chicken is so juicy and tender. So until you try it, you will never understand why I am raving so much about this soup. You can also use boneless chicken thighs instead of breasts. The spice blend, fire-roasted tomato, and chipotle chili powder give this soup the real flavor. Soups made from scratch are always healthier with better taste. To make it rich and creamy, there is ‘Half and half,’ cream cheese, and lots of cheddar cheese. I know it sounds like a lot, but I bet you would crave a loaded, creamy soup when it is cold outside, and you are snuggling on your couch. While you can dump chicken and the rest of the ingredients into the slow cooker and cook it, I would prefer first to saute the aromatics in a pan. Frying onion and garlic in the oil gives a deep flavor. Another important step while making this recipe is adding dairy products at the end of the cooking. So that dairy is not overcooked with other spices and curdles or gives a weird taste. I am going to add some crunchy tortilla chips on my cheat day. Make a big batch of it and freeze it for later. Another favorite soup this season is this Low Carb Cabbage Chicken Taco Soup. Another Mexican soup with mindblowing flavors But you know what? I love my Instant Pot equally. It is such a time savior. This soup is a favorite at home, and readers have even made it in Instant Pot. The soup is as good as the slow cooker version, and it takes only 15 minutes from start to end; the best part is you can also throw in the frozen chicken breast if you haven’t planned to thaw it earlier. The recipe below includes detailed instructions and a video to make this soup in an Instant Pot. The good news is you can safely freeze in an air-tight container for up to 2 months. When it is time to take this out from the freezer/fridge, just let it thaw so that you can see liquid forming again while it comes closer to room temperature Microwave it in a safe container before serving.
Sour cream – To increase the creaminess, add a dollop of sour cream to make it more luxurious. Tortilla – You can also serve it with some Tortilla chips or warm tortillas, which you can have as a crunchy accompaniment or dip into the soup. Mexican rice – This is packed with tomato flavor and is a perfect side dish to other Mexican dishes. Avocado – Slice or dice some ripe avocados and serve them as a garnish or on the side. The creamy, buttery texture of avocados adds richness to the soup while providing a cool and refreshing element.
