There is just not much I love more on a Saturday than to throw a bunch of stuff in the slow cooker after breakfast, get busy about my day and still have a hearty meal ready on the table for dinner. This Slow Cooker Mexican Chicken Stew totally checks all those boxes.

I’m a fan of Taco Soups, I’m a fan of chicken chili, and I’m a fan of vegetable stew. So, this slow cooker Saturday soup came about by using my knowledge of all those recipes and looking at what was actually available in my pantry. Yes, I’m always trying to shop my pantry but this can be made without any cooking. I might be one of those “dump and go” type of recipes.

Mexican Chicken Stew is a smokey, spicy comfort soup that will make your insides warm and cozy. Let the crockpot do all the work for you or cook it stovetop in a dutch oven. #chickenstew #gamedaymeals #comfortfood #spicysoup #mexicanstew

This is totally a soup I’d get to make and take somewhere because my main man doesn’t like beans, but hey there are times we need to love on others or take a meal to a friend. I also love that there are chunky things in this soup, so I could scoop out things for Little Man to eat. When we are eating soup, he sure likes to have a bowl and spoon just like us. That kid is getting so big.
