  1. PERFECTION! Absolutely wonderful! Love, Love, Love this soup! I used “two” cans of black beans and a smidgen more corn.Topped w/diced tomotoes, green onions, avacado, & sour cream.

  2. Just made this and it was awesome! Everyone loved it! Definitely gonna look for more recipes on your blog! Thank you so much for this yummy recipe! This only thing I did different was use fresh cilantro, because that’s what I had on hand. 🙂

  3. This recipe is great! I always overdo things when it comes to slow cooker recipes so when I made it last week for my family of 4 (a 3 year old son who loves everything but only eats a little, and a 1 year old daughter who is a little picky but eats twice as much as the oldest), I added an additional can of soup and used 4 chicken breasts. It was amazing and we are having the frozen leftovers today over pasta instead of tortilla chips. I will definitely be frequenting your website often!

  4. This is a terrific soup; my family loved it! I used your homemade Cream of Chicken Soup and some homemade salsa. The soup tastes great topped with crushed tortilla chips. Thank you!

    1. I love this recipe, but I haven’t made it in awhile! How long of a cooking time would you recommend for cooking this in the instant pot? I no longer use my crockpot because I love my instant pot that much!

      1. I have not used my instant pot yet with this recipe but I would recommend following the instructions and letting the chicken sit for an hour on the pressure cooker.

  5. I made this for my roommates and we LOVED IT. Super easy and delicious. Do you happen to know the nutrition facts?

  6. This was fantastic! I added a small can of green chilies and a chopped roasted red pepper (because I love them – not because something was missing) and it was a big hit with the family. I can’t wait to explore your site and find more great new recipes.
    Thank you again!

  7. This was absolutely wonderful!! I doubled the recipe and used the homemade cream of chicken recipe and used homemade chicken stock in place of the water. This will now be one of my go to soup recipes so thank you!!
