(Slow Cooker) King Ranch Chicken Soup

Hey y’all!!  I know you are waiting with your spoons to check out this recipe!  King Ranch Chicken Soup?!? Whaaaat!

King Ranch Casserole is a pretty popular Texas recipe.  Made with layering of chicken, cheese, tortillas. Which is pretty much what this soup is!  Creamy, dreamy, cheesy, flavorful.  This soup is thick and perfect for dipping chips in.

I wish I could take credit for this recipe.  But it’s not mine!  Want to know where it’s from??? My friend Samantha from Five Heart Home  just released a fantastic cookbook, Real Food Slow Cooker Suppers.  Full of easy, family-friendly recipes from scratch.

This book is amazing!!  And it has now earned a permanent spot on my counter and already has food smeared on the pages.  That’s a sign of a great cookbook.  And Samantha is a sweetheart, fellow Texan, and seems to have a similar style to mine!  Easy meals with a bit of Texan charm.  So I know y’all will love her too!
