The Jewish community has matzo ball soup, Italy has minestrone, Canada has split pea soup and Mexico has menudo. But you don’t have to make menudo to get a classic Mexican soup. You could make a simple crockpot chicken tortilla soup recipe and get an equally good-tasting soup.

Many people are grateful for this soup because not everyone is a fan of the cow stomach lining which is the main ingredient in traditional menudo. Crockpot chicken tortilla soup is a delicious and easy homemade soup recipe! 

Add it to your meal prep for the week; this recipe also scales easily for larger groups! What kind of classic soup is your favorite? It is hard to pick a favorite and many people just grab whatever they are in the mood for.

But more importantly, people stick with canned soups. But making soup is not very difficult, especially if you have a crockpot. You could make just about any type of soup in a crockpot.

You can even make crockpot chicken tortilla soup that tastes even better than a canned version. The recipe, in general, isn’t difficult. There might be some prep work that could take a little more time. However, that depends on the ingredients you use.

Crockpot Chicken Tortilla Soup

The ingredients will make a difference in time and flavor. For example, one of the ingredients is fire-roasted tomatoes with green chilis. You could take the extra time to fire roast your own tomatoes and the flavor would be much fresher.

However, you will need a fire-grill and much more time. You could easily find these ingredients already fire-roasted in a can. The choice is yours. The most important thing to mention before you look at the ingredients list is that it is long.

But that shouldn’t stop you from making the best crockpot chicken tortilla soup.
