Is there anything better in this cold dreary weather than soup?? It can be so hard to find a soup that is low points with some of the ingredients added in so when a girlfriend shared her keto recipe Chicken Fajita Soup I plugged it in to find it was a 0 Point Weight Watcher soup as well! Double win, I just cut out the sour cream she puts on her to make this 0 Weight Watchers Smartpoints Slow Cooker Chicken Fajita Soup. (I have included links to some great products that I have bought on my own to make my journey easier. You can buy them too through my online sales links.)
Now the weather has been dreary and I love how my crockpot makes my whole house smell heavenly. Nothing beats running to the store and walking in the door the smell of food cooking in the crock pot. Using my 8-quart crock means that I have space to make a batch big enough to have the leftovers!! Plus you can order one on Amazon so you don’t even have to leave the house, order and bam UPS man is saving dinner time for you when you use Amazon Prime 2 day delivery! (Don’t have Prime?? You NEED for easy online shopping!!)

Slow Cooker Chicken Fajita Soup Directions:
You can do your chicken several different ways I have a bit of an obsession with grilling my chicken that goes in soup. (I did it with my Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup -> here). Now the easiest way is to pick up a rotisserie chicken or use crockpot shredded chicken. (you can see more -> here)
At about 7 that morning I coated 2 Chicken breasts with some olive oil and sprinkled on some Kinders Tequila Lime Seasoning on them. I place them back in the fridge until I was ready to start prepping for the crockpot.
Start out by throwing your chicken breast on the grill on a low heat. You will want to flip them a couple times but not fully cook so they can finish cooking in the crockpot. But the grill flavor that this adds to the soup is amazing!!!
Prep up everything else for your soup. I started by chopping up all the veggies and cilantro to put in the soup. Now a good knife is a must-have in any kitchen! I picked up this Aicok Knife (HERE)for under $10, but it’s keeps going out of stock often on Amazon due to how awesome it is. There are a lot of other top rated knives on Amazon at a great price. I am not the best at picking out Knives so when I can read reviews to find a good quality knife it’s a win for me.

Spray your crockpot with a nonstick spray and start to throw everything in. I added my broth first then added everything else, you can add more broth if it looks like you need more.
After a couple of hours pull out the chicken breasts and shredded them. I used my claws to shred the meat quickly on a plate and then place back into the soup to finish off the rest of the time cooking the crockpot.
I had my soup in the crockpot for about 6 hours before we ate it. You can add some flour to thicken it up and eat with some sour cream or even chips! However we at this as is, and it was zero points as well.

Sounds very yummy
Jean says
If using Rotisserie Chicken, do you add it at the beginning since it is already cooked? Thank you for sharing the recipe, I am looking forward to trying it!
Jenny says
Yes I would add it at the beginning. That way it gets the flavor and adds flavor to the soup as well.
Lynn says
Hi what can size of tomatoes? And how much chicken stock
Thanks
Lynn
Cate says
How much chicken stock do you use?
Joules says
While the recipe as printed has no points, rotisserie chicken has 4 points per 3 oz. A whole chicken would have 12 or more! Also olive oil has one point in each teaspoon. If you are using it to coat chicken, you have to count it. This is low in points, but not zero.
Jenny says
I used chicken breasts to make mine. The amount of olive oil I used to help the seasoning stick spread over the seasonings worked out to zero points for individual servings.
