You guys! We are making the most delicious Mexican style chicken soup today.This one is super loaded with FLAVOR, of course. Caps are totally necessary because this soup is BOLD.

So it’s not really a secret that:

a) I absolutely love bold flavor – see here, here, and here for proof
b) I am completely obsessed with soups lately (i’ve made you both slow cookerminestrone and broccoli and cheesejust this month)
c)JALAPENO + LIME

So this time, we’re doing a soup with a lot more flavor and we’re making it in the crockpot. Which means this soup will make itself and be all nice and ready for you. It’s perfect for when your kids and I go Trick or Treating. Umm… what? Total JK. I’m not gonna go trick or treating. Or am I?

Anywho. You know I just love it when flavorful jalapeno chicken soup is ready for usin the crockpot.

The flavor of this soup. I could spend hours telling you about it. A hint of lime, a zing from the jalapenos (a baby-zing it’s not spicy just had a little heat), and fresh, earthy cilantro. I love topping my jalapeno lime chicken soup with just a little bit of sour cream to help cool it a bit and some crushed up blue corn tortilla chips for a little added crunch.

This is the perfect meal for my lately way-to-busy days. I’ve been recipe testing all sorts of goodies for you. And lets just say my dark double chocolate muffins could use some work in the chocolate department.

Things arequite chaotic around here, like, dropping a whole sack of flour on the floor and forgetting the salsa verde for this jalapeno lime chickensoup (whoops, back to the store we go). But I know I can count on my Crockpot to give me a break in the cooking department while I deal with my forgetful brain and make yet another trip back to the store. A warm, cozy, comforting dinner, that’s what I have to look forward too.

Crushed up tortilla chips, cilantro, and a wee bit of sour cream with this piping hot soup in a jumbo sized bowl. This soup will be readyto greet you after you’ve walked your entire ~~neighborhood~~zip code, dealt with 1 broken pumpkin candy basket, a few kids in intense sugar comas, and a tantrum over how he/she didn’t get (insert your childs favorite candy/chocoalate here).

Don’t think, just start prepping this jalapeno lime chicken soup.

You’ll be glad you did.

Jalapeno Lime Chicken Soup is a twist on the traditional chicken soup recipe This soup is loaded with fresh Mexican flavors, like, jalapenos, lime juice, cilantro, and salsa verde. With lots of protein from chicken and cannelloni beans and flavor, this soup is sure to be a new family favorite!

Ingredients

1 medium red onion
3 – 5 Jalapenos, seeds, and ribs removed (see note)
4 cloves garlic
1/4 cup cilantro, packed
4 cups (32 oz) salsa verde (homemade or store-bought)
4 cups (32 oz) chicken broth
1 cup of water
1 1/2 pounds chicken breast
juice of 2 large limes (or 3 small)
2 cans cannellini beans, rinsed and drained

For serving:

Sour cream
Tortilla chips

Instructions

Start by mincing the onions, jalapenos, garlic, and cilantro in a food processor. If your food processor is small, work in batches.
Place all the minced items along with salsa verde, chicken broth, water, and chicken breasts in a slow cooker. Allow the chicken to cook on the high setting for 4 hours or the low setting for 7-8 hours. In the last 45 minutes of cooking, remove the chicken breast from the crockpot and shred using 2 forks. Add the lime juice along with the cannelloni beans. Add the chicken back into the slow cooker when 10 minutes remain. Season soup to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve with sour cream, tortilla chips, additional limes, and fresh cilantro.

Notes

I used 5 jalapenos with the ribs and seeds removed and it was perfect for our taste buds. It had some spice to it but mostly heat. If you’re cooking for young children or don’t care for spicy food, i’d suggest using 3 jalapenos, removing all seeds and ribs + rinsing the jalapenos under running water. Adapted from Pinch of Yum
