This Slow Cooker Chicken Fajita Soup is so easy to make because everything goes right in the slow cooker! Plus it's hearty but surprisingly good for you! Top it however you like for a dinner the whole family will love.
Place chicken breasts in bottom of slow cooker. Add all other ingredients on top except for the fresh cilantro. (We'll add the cilantro later.)
Cook on high with lid on for 3 - 4 hours or low for 6 - 8 hours.
Use two forks to shred the chicken and then place it back in the slow cooker.
Taste. Add more salt if that's your preference.
Stir in your chopped fresh cilantro.
Ladle into bowls and serve! Add avocado, cheese, sour cream, or tortilla chips if you like. It's perfectly delicious without as well!
Notes
Looking to beef up this soup even more? It doesn't need it but good golly you sure can if you want to! Cauliflower rice would be an awesome addition that would still keep this dish Whole30 compliant and gluten free. (Add it close to the end of the cooking time though because it cooks fast.) If you're not avoiding grains you could also add traditional rice. Me? I enjoy this delicious soup as is.Prefer to make it on the stove? Start by simmering your onion and peppers in 1 - 2 tbsp cooking fat of choice (that's not needed when cooking in the slow cooker). Once they've started to wilt and get a bit translucent add in all other ingredients except for the cilantro. Let it simmer on medium to medium high heat for around 35 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Shred chicken and stir in your cilantro. That's it! All done in about 45 minutes total.
