Use this recipe to make Easy Crockpot Chicken Pozole. It’s quick and, as its name suggests, super easy. Chop, dump, and go. This delicious soup can be made ahead and portioned out to freeze for easy meals. 

This soup is one of my family’s favorites!! It’s perfect for a cold day with a little bit of heat to warm you up that can be dialed up or down depending on your preference. 

I love this chicken pozole for so many reasons but mainly because it will feed my family twice and only uses 2 chicken breasts making it an incredibly affordable way to stretch your grocery budget. It can also be made ahead of time and freezes so well. 

Whether you are avoiding fat or carbs, this easy chicken pozole is low in both. You can garnish it with cheese and avocado to add fat and avoid extra carbs or sprinkle it with some tortilla strips and slices of radish to add a few carbs but stay low in fats. 

 

A quick note to the Trim Healthy Mamas:

As this recipe is written it’s an E so you can add all the low fat veggies and carb balance tortilla strips you want. If you only add one can of hominy it becomes an FP! In an FP setting, you can add cheese and avocado with the veggies and pull it into S territory. Its such a versatile recipe for anyone on THM!

 

Pro-Tips:

  • Add more or less pasilla powder to increase or decrease the heat. 
  • If you can’t find pasilla powder you can use ancho chili powder as well.
  • This soup is super easy to make and freezes very well. I make it for my lunches and portion it into mason jars or ziplock bags and freeze it for quick and easy lunches. 
  • If you can’t find the pasilla or ancho chile powder in the spice aisle, check the international aisle by the tortillas, there’s usually another spice section there.
