Slow Cooker Chicken Enchilada Soup

A few weeks ago my neice Christy and her daughter Chloe stopped by for a visit. The girls were so excited to meet our new puppy Jones! I’ve told you about Jones, right?

He’s a little corgi, full of mischief and fun! Corgi’s are class clowns, very busy with tons of energy. There have been several times Dan and I looked at each other and thought what were we thinking?!!!

Baby Jones – 5 months old.

Jones is growing up fast and we are trying to keep up with him! His shots are finally complete. We almost have potty training down and he’s begun walking on a leash. Everything is exciting and new!

And the girls were really looking forward to meeting the little man and having some quality puppy time!

I was doing some recipe testing while they were here and this soup Christy declared “the best soup she’s ever had in her life!”

Frankly, I have some amazing soups here on the blog – I mean Authentic Posole and Mexican Meatball Soup? YUM!!! (And if you ever thought about up’ing the flavor consider roasting green chiles in the fall, it only takes minutes and so much smokey goodness!)

Better than these? Well that’s what Christy said! That’s darn good high praise and after a bit more testing, I’m excited to be sharing this recipe with you!

    Made this for dinner last night. DELISH. One of our new favorites. THANKS

    ps: I cheated and used cooked chicken. I followed all your ingredients and cooked it on the stove and it was done in about 30 minutes. Easy, peasy.
