I love easy recipes . . . any recipe that includes the word “dump” in the directions just make me happy. 🙂 So, here’s a super simple recipe for slow cooked tortilla soup, that should take just a few minutes to dump into Mrs. Potts, your friendly helper who does all the work for you while you direct traffic (ahem, children) around your kitchen before dinnertime.
It’s also just plain ole’ delicious, and my hubby and I just gobbled down every last bit of ours.

Thanks so much for sharing the recipe JJ – that looks delicious! I think I may try using the tortillas cut up next time (or maybe even for leftovers) – what a great idea!
i think i have everything for this recipe in my pantry. i think we are going to eat this tomorrow night for dinner. My crockpot by the way is my bcf (best cooking friend)
Love the name BCF 🙂 Let me know if you all like it!
The instructions say, “cooked” chicken. I would think I could start w/ a raw bird, no?
I bet you probably could Liz, I’ve just always had my chicken cooked first. If you try it and it works let me know!
Just tried this soup last night and it was great! Rave reviews from everyone who tried it. And I still have plenty for lunch today!
So glad you liked it Jennifer! And thanks so much for sharing on on your blog as well 🙂 (What a great idea for a site – I don’t know how you working mommas do it!!!)
Tried this last night and loved it! It was so easy, and super delicious too. Was a nice change of pace from the norm. I am about to have a baby, so I will definitely freeze some of this soup already made for those blury first couple of weeks when you don’t want to cook. Thanks!
Do you drain the black beans before adding?
Would a cooked chicken from the deli work?
