Baja Chicken Soup comes together in a snap and simmers all day in a slow cooker for an easy weeknight supper!
The weather is starting to cool off a bit and it’s so nice to get out. So, last weekend we went hiking in the Superstition Mountains for five hours to see some hieroglyphs. The hike was amazing, even though it was slow going with the kids but really who cares because the views were amazing and the final destination was stunning. It’s so hard to believe that a place like this exist just a short way from our home. By the time we finally made our way back to the car it was supper time and we were all starving. Luckily, my mommy brain was working and I had the brilliant idea to put this Baja Chicken Soup in the slow cooker before we left the house.
Last week Pacific Foods sent me a few of their soup starters and I’m so glad I had them on hand to start supper before heading out. Oh my goodness, y’all…the house smelled amazing when we got home. I’m so thankful that I have a brilliant idea occasionally because by the time we got home all I wanted to do was pull off my hiking boots, wash my face, and eat.
Are you on instagram? I’d love to connect with you there. I post sneak peaks, recipe links, contests, and of course photos from my hiking and travels too!

Just what I was looking for – a fresh soup recipe filled with flavor. Thanks for sharing!
This looks and sounds delicious. I bet it would be perfect on a cold winter day with a homemade jalapeno corn muffin.
I will definitely be trying it when the weather cools off a little.
I also love that it’s cooked in the crock pot.
