My family loves this soup! I even make a vegetarian version for my daughter since it was one of those soups she missed when becoming veggie! Can it be frozen?

I have made this numerous times and it is always delicious. I use the Trader Joe’s reduced fat coconut milk and salsa verde. The milk sometimes solidifies in the can, so I pour it into a large measuring cup to stir it up before adding. I also add a small chopped zucchini for more vegetables, and use low sodium beans and chicken broth.

This soup was sooo good. I was concerned about all the spicy ingredients, but I used them all and it was perfect! The coconut flavor was undetectable and added a great creaminess without using dairy. I used the whole can of chicken broth and added another can of beans at the end to make it more hearty. The crumbled cheese and avocado on top really added to the creaminess and depth of flavor. Loved it!!!

Im planning to make this today. It sounds so delicious!!
Like som else mentioned tho, I dont want it to thicken up like a chili.
You mentioned adding more chicken broth & coconut milk to thin it out. Would this be equal parts or just double Them both? Thank you!

In reply to Julie. Hi Julie! I would just add more chicken broth and coconut milk to thin it out more.

In reply to Melissa. Not at a dumb question at all! No you don't need to cook the chicken before. It will cook right a long with everything else in the slow cooker :) I hope you enjoy it!

In reply to Kelly. You would need to cook the chicken first then shred it before making this on the stove top. Then cook the soup on the stove-top just as you would in the slow cooker. It will cook faster on the stove stop, so just once it's nice and warm it's ready. And yes, you can definitely use canned corn instead. :)

How long woils you could this for if making over stove top and not in a slow cooker? Okay to use canned corn in place of frozen?

This might be a dumb question, but do you cook your chicken breasts before putting them in the crockpot? Thanks!

In reply to STACIE. Hi Stacie, yes you could use a rotisserie chicken instead and cook it all on the stove top :)

Yumm! I was looking for a dish that I can feed to our ward missionaries on Monday and this sounds perfect! I love how you have listed sour cream twice in the toppings section! Yes! Sour cream is a necessity!
