Slow Cooker Chili Chicken Soup
An easy soup recipe that tastes really good.
This recipe is also very flavorful as well.
Did you try my Vegan Tuscan Soup recipe?
That recipe also features beans along with some great tasting vegetables.
This recipe however, is really about the chicken that goes with the beans and vegetables.

You may be wondering what is white chili made of.
Let me start by saying that this recipe is really a soup and not necessarily a chili.
Also, I would not call this soup recipe a true ‘white chili’ chicken soup recipe either.
A true white chili or white chili soup recipe features white beans
Yes, this chili recipe does include white beans (cannellini).
However, this chili chicken soup recipe also contains black beans.
Feel free to use only white beans if you are looking to make more of white chili soup recipe.
I have been asked what is the best secret ingredient for chili.
Everyone seems to have their own secret ingredient when it comes to chili.
Some people add honey while other people add unsweetened cocoa powder (which incidentally is really good if done right!).
There is a ‘secret’ ingredient that makes this chili soup even better.
I have included cream cheese in this recipe. The cream cheese helps balance the flavors as well as the texture of this soup. Feel free to omit the cream cheese however, if you are avoiding dairy or fat from cheese.

Tips for making this chili chicken soup.
This recipe for slow cooker soup works best if cooked for five to seven hours on low. Cooking this recipe on low allows for the chicken to cook more evenly and for the flavors to blend better.
Here are some more great tips for you.
- Feel free to adjust the ingredients in this recipe to allow for adding leftovers. Ideas for leftovers include left over vegetables or even left over holiday turkey. You may need to adjust the cooking time or other ingredients accordingly.
- Yes, with a few adjustments, you can make this a vegan recipe. Obviously, you would need to omit the chicken as well as the cream cheese that is added. However, using a vegan broth instead of the chicken broth is an easy adjustment. You can easily adjust the cooking time since there is no added chicken.
- This recipe calls for cannellini beans. This is a larger more filling white bean. However, you could substitute another white bean such as a navy bean if desired.
Have you ever wondered what is the difference between a slow cooker and a crockpot?
I am mentioned this because sometimes folks use these names interchangeably.
Kind of like ‘Kleenex’ and ’tissue’ right?
A Crockpot is a brand name for a kind of a slow cooker.
There are other brands that make slow cookers. And by the way, this recipe can also be made in an instant pot or similar appliance (refer to the manual that comes with the product).
You may also be wondering can you freeze white chicken chili soup leftovers.
Yes, you can freeze your leftover soup. Simply place the cooled soup in a zip top freezer bag and store it away in your freezer!

- Fire Roasted Tomatoes – 1 can, ten to 14 ounces depending on how daring you are.
- Green Enchilada Sauce – 1 can, 15 ounces.
- Chicken Broth– 1-2 cups as needed. I mentioned above that vegans can use a vegan broth.

- Cumin– 1 tablespoon.
- Minced Onion (dry minced onion)- 1 tablespoon.
- Paprika– ¾ teaspoon.
- Cream Cheese- One 8 ounce bar. Vegans can use tofu or omit this. The cream cheese should be at room temperature and cut into one to two inch chunks. You will not need the cream cheese until the chicken has cooked through.

- Once the chicken is fully cooked you can remove it from the soup and shred it. Tip: use two forks to shred the chicken as it will be warm and the two forks work great! Set the chicken aside.
- Next, add the room temperature cream cheese to the slow cooker. Your slow cooker should be set on low. Use a whisk or large spoon to blend the cream cheese in. Once the soup has reached a smooth consistency you can return the chicken to the slow cooker and cook for another 10-15 minutes and then serve.
