My low carb journey has begun. I first thought eating a low carb diet would be impossible for a bread and pastry loving girl like myself, but so far so good. Preparing delicious recipes like this Slow Cooker Chicken Fajita Soup is certainly making it easier. I don’t feel like I am missing anything when I eat this flavorful soup.
While I will no doubt still enjoy an occasional piece of my favorite Texas Turtle Sheet Cake or a bite (or two or three) of Chocolate Mousse, I think I will be quite satisfied eating low carb recipes like this one. Many thanks to McCormick for sponsoring this post and providing samples of their new McCormick Skillet Sauces which inspired this recipe.
This Chicken Fajita Soup is so easy to make in the slow cooker, and tastes great the next day. If you like fajitas you will enjoy this soup. It has all the same great flavors, minus the tortillas. If you are not on a diet like myself, you can load this up with toppings like avocado, shredded cheese, black olives, sour cream, and tortilla strips. The possibilities are endless. But if you are on a diet, no worries, because it’s delicious all on it’s own.
Low Carb Slow Cooker Chicken Fajita Soup
Ingredients:
3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
32 oz. chicken stock
1 (14.5 oz.) can diced tomatoes
1 medium yellow pepper, diced
1 medium red pepper, diced
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
6 oz. mushrooms, thinly sliced
1 (8 oz.) package McCormick Taco with Chipotle & Garlic Skillet Sauce
1 tbs. season salt
2 tbs. fresh cilantro, chopped
Pro Tip: Slow Cooker liners make clean up a breeze. I recommend them to anyone. I mean, the whole point of a slow cooker is the convenience. You can get these for a steal.
Directions:
Except for the fresh cilantro, add all ingredients to the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours.
Using two forks, shred the chicken breasts. Gently stir in fresh cilantro, cover, and continue cooking for an additional hour.
This recipe makes a lot of soup, about 14 cups. Don’t you love how simple this recipe is? Enjoy!

January 7, 2015 at 12:46 PMI was just trying to think of a good soup to take to my Sister in Laws. She fell and broke her ankle and I thought I might take her some food that would be easy.
Krystal says
January 7, 2015 at 12:58 PMThat looks amazing. I pull out the crock pot all the time during the winter. This is next on my “to make” list. Thanks!
Lesley says

Nicole says
January 7, 2015 at 3:26 PMMy kiddo keeps asking for fajita soup… I’m not really sure he even knows what it is. I’ll have to make it and see if he will actually eat it.

Jennifer Heintz says
January 7, 2015 at 4:09 PMThis is the perfect weather for posting a great soup recipe. Corckpot soups get the whole house smelling good, and everyone’s appetite going. And the kids and husband can load on some cheese and sour cream, while I enjoy it also.
Thanks for sharing.

Nausheen says
March 1, 2017 at 8:46 AMThis recipe turned out not so good for me. 😬I made too much and the chicken breasts tatsyes a bit dry. I made it exactly like the receipt except I didn’t add peppers or cilantro so maybe that’s why. Also they don’t sell that taco packet anymore. I had to get another one. I called three grocery stores and none sold it.

Thanks for the recipe, the only change I’ll make is to add more mushrooms (maybe double the amount), cause I love them! Pinned and planned and drooling!

Helen says
August 24, 2016 at 1:47 AMThis looks great! I was really sad when I realized that many of the soups I thought were low carb actually have a bunch. I think because of thickeners. I will have to try this soon!
