Crock Pot Chicken Santa Fe Soup is creamy, cheesy and a delicious meal you can make using leftover or rotisserie chicken.
If you love crock pot soup recipes that are packed full of Mexican flavors this easy chicken Sante Fe soup is sure to become a favorite.
This Crock Pot Chicken Santa Fe Soup recipe is made with cubed cooked chicken.
You could use any leftover cooked chicken, a rotisserie chicken or leftover cooked turkey meat to make this chicken crock pot soup recipe.
Velveeta cheese easily adds a creamy and cheesy flavor to the Santa Fe soup recipe.
If you'd like to use shredded cheddar cheese instead that is okay but the soup broth will not have the creaminess you will get from the Velveeta cheese.
I'm sure shredded cheddar cheese will taste just as good so don't hesitate to use it if that is your preference.
I served this Crock Pot Chicken Santa Fe Soup in my (affiliate link) favorite stoneware soup bowls. These handles soup bowls come in 6 gorgeous colors.

How would you thicken the recipe? I am suggesting 8oz of cream cheese would this work?

This soup has a very thick creamy broth. If it was any thicker I don't think it would be called a soup any longer. I'm not sure cream cheese would thicken it much. It will probably melt into the cheese broth. Good luck

I made this recipe last night, with the exception of leaving it in the crockpot on low for 10 hours. My husband and I really enjoyed it. I'll definitely make it again. Thanks

I made this tonight and it was wonderful! Very warming on a chilly night for sure. I used leftover turkey and topped it with crushed tortilla chips, diced avocado and a dollop of sour cream. Yum! Thanks for sharing. I will freeze some leftovers for another cold night.
Arlene Mobley
Jessica so glad to hear you loved the recipe! Thank you so much! I bet the avocado really added a nice touch. I will have to add some to mine the next time I make this.
