Cooking Steps
• Wash and dry produce. • Halve, peel, and finely dice onion. Drain corn.
• In a medium microwave-safe bowl, whisk together cornstarch, tomato paste, stock concentrates, and ¼ cup water (½ cup for 8 servings). Microwave until thickened, 30-40 seconds.
• Open package of chicken* and drain off any excess liquid. Season all over with salt and pepper. • In a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker (8-quart slow cooker for 8 servings), combine chicken with Tex-Mex paste, onion, corn, crushed tomatoes, beans and their liquid, cornstarch mixture, and 3 cups water (6 cups for 8); stir until well combined. TIP: If the chicken pieces are sticking together, make sure to separate them. • Cover and cook on high until chicken is tender and cooked through, 4 hours. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.
• Once soup is ready to serve, roughly chop cilantro and lightly crush tortilla chips in bag. • Serve tortilla soup family style, with cilantro, tortilla chips, sour cream, and Mexican cheese blend in separate bowls. Let everyone add their own toppings!
Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.

Reviews from our home cooks
I'm a big soup/stew fan and have had many of those recipes from you and your competitors - this was one of the best ones I've ever had. I also think I will choose more slow-cooker recipes in the future since I like using it especially during autumn/winter - I hope you offer more.
This was so easy to make and then we were able to have leftovers the next night. I love the new slow cooker double serving recipes!!!
This was great soup and made a lot! To add a little green veg to the soup, I added fresh spinach. Instead of plain tomatoes, I would have added rotel that is a blend of tomatoes and green chilis as it lacked a mild heat. You included chili flakes, but those are too hot. However, we are the cooks, and I write notes on the handy recipe cards. Now that I have had it, I can buy a can of chilis to add the next time I order it!
This soup was great! I added more cornstarch to make a little thicker and added Franks Red Hot to mine for added heat!
I used an 8 quart slow cooker and I couldn't fit the last two cups of water in it. There weren't enough fixings to go with all the soup (cilantro, sour cream or chips). While the blue chips were fancy, it would be cheaper to provide regular tortilla chips so there would be enough to go around. Love the larger meals - please provide more them!
Whole family loved this! I used Chicken broth instead of water, and it really gave it richer flavor!
This was easy to make, and it was pretty good, but it needed more flavor. I added a chopped poblano pepper in the beginning and some hot sauce at the end, and that made it better.
Loved the convenience and change of pace using the slow cooker, but the soup lacked flavor. Could have used maybe some chipotle seasoning or jalapeños.
I didn't use the slow cooker method and it worked great on the stovetop. Wonderful fall soup full of flavor
This was great. Love the servings and the food. Could use a little more spice or kick.
