Slow Cooker Enchilada Soup Recipe

Soups are always a great way to use up any veggies or meat and after you make a few, you’ll probably be able to just wing it with whatever you have on hand.

If I didn’t plan ahead of time for using the slow cooker, I can sometimes have a soup ready within 30 minutes. If I’ve got chicken broth, diced tomatoes, dried tortellini, beans, and some spices, I can work wonders!

During the school year, our evenings are pretty choppy. Our son has soccer practice a couple of times a week, he’s now working 3 evenings a week and then you add my schedule and my husband’s and we’re coming and going at all times. It’s nice to have a meal that is easy to scoop up anytime after 4 pm. This Slow Cooker Enchilada Soup will be a welcomed meal for sure!

How to Make Slow Cooker Enchilada Soup

You’re going to need:

Beef- it doesn’t have to be an expensive cut. You can even try ground beef if that’s all you’ve got on hand.
Canned, fresh or frozen corn
Cheddar Cheese Soup
Black Beans
Enchilada sauce
Beef broth
Seasoning – listed in the printable recipe below.

The nice thing about using your slow cooker is that you can use the cheaper cuts of meat. I also use a lot of ground turkey or beef. My husband prefers the steak cubes, but I’m good with either.

I don’t always add the corn, but I have been lately. I don’t know what it is, but I don’t like to mix my corn into other foods. But I’m starting to grow up. And never underestimate the use of canned soup for a quick base. The cheddar cheese soup or cream of chicken soup will be your best friend.

Serve with crusty bread, corn muffins… maybe even add a salad and you have yourself a no-stress meal!

Instructions

In the slow cooker bowl, combine the beef, sauce, beans, corn, oregano and chili flakes. In a separate bowl, combine the cheese soup and the beef broth and whisk until smooth. (photos show it just added with corn and beans. It works this way but mixing ahead of time works better to incorporate it. Add to the beef mixture.
Cook on low for 6 – 7 hours.
10 minutes before serving, sprinkle in the cheese and stir well. Let the cheese melt in the soup and then it’s ready to serve.
Garnish with a dollop of sour cream and some corn chips.

I've used ground turkey or ground beef before too. It's all good!
