Pin ItMaxwell’s new favorite word is “Brrrrrrrrr!” He yells it every time we walk outside because it is down right chilly in Utah. We have to bundle up to go for our daily walks. The layers help a little, but we still yell, “Brrrrrrr!” 🙂 It is fun and it helps get our frustration out. I am not a fan of the cold and I guess Maxwell isn’t either:)
To warm up, we have been eating lots of soup. One of our favorites is this Slow Cooker Enchilada Soup. It is easy to make and warms us up every time!
The best part about about this soup, besides it’s deliciousness, is that it’s made in the slow cooker. It takes about ten minutes to prep and then you can walk away and let the slow cooker do the rest of the work.
Old El Paso red enchilada sauce is the base of this soup and it adds a ton of flavor. The soup is also loaded with black beans, corn, tomatoes, green chiles, onion, cilantro, and fresh lime juice. All of my favorites in one big crockpot!
And the fun doesn’t end there, when it is time to ladle up the soup, more fun is to be had because of the TOPPINGS! I am all about the toppings. Some favorites include: avocado, shredded cheese, cilantro, tortilla chips, and Greek yogurt or sour cream. You can also serve our Easy Cornbread on the side. It is the best and so good with this soup!
Let your slow cooker make you this easy and healthy Slow Cooker Enchilada Soup. It is the perfect soup for a chilly day! Enjoy!
