Effortless Prep with the Right Tools

A recipe this simple deserves kitchen tools that save even more time. To quickly cube onions, peppers, or carrots, turn to the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper—it keeps everything uniform for even cooking. Use a sturdy Bamboo Cutting Boards for Kitchen, Set of 3 for all your chopping needs and keep cleanup easy.

When it’s time to shred your slow-cooked chicken, the Chicken Shredder Tool Twist for Kitchen makes the job a breeze, ensuring perfectly pulled chicken every time.

Simple Steps to Bold Flavor

Start by prepping your fresh vegetables and aromatics. Add everything to your slow cooker, top with chicken breasts, pour in broth, and let the low and slow magic happen. After a few hours, your chicken will be fall-apart tender, the flavors melded into a hearty, spicy broth.

For a final touch, a quick pulse in the Ninja BL610 Professional 72 Oz Countertop Blender will make the soup extra creamy—blend just a portion if you prefer a chunkier texture.

Serving, Storing & Bringing the Heat

Ladle your finished spicy chicken soup into bowls and top with fresh cilantro, sliced avocado, or a squeeze of lime. For easy, on-the-go lunches, portion the soup into the Bentgo Salad Container – 54 oz Bowl, which keeps it hot and spill-free.

This soup freezes well, so save leftovers in airtight containers like Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers for a convenient future meal. Enjoy with warm tortillas or a side of crusty bread for soaking up every drop.
