Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 32 ounces chicken broth
  • 10 ounces green enchilada sauce
  • 4.5 ounces chopped green chiles
  • 15 ounces white beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn

  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened and cubed
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Shredded cheese, avocado, sour cream, cilantro, tortilla strips (optional toppings)

Instructions

  1. Combine chicken breasts, chicken broth, green enchilada sauce, chopped green chiles, white beans, corn, cumin, chili powder, and garlic powder in a large slow cooker.
  2. Cook on high for 3-4 hours or until the chicken is tender enough to shred.
  3. Remove chicken and shred, then return to the slow cooker.
  4. Stir in softened cream cheese and cook for an additional 15 minutes, or until cream cheese is melted.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

For a richer soup, use chicken thighs instead of breasts. Add extra green chiles or hot sauce for more heat. Soup thickens as it cools; add a splash of broth when reheating if needed.
