Slow Cooker Chicken Enchilada Quinoa Soup

This is a great crockpot recipe. I used the Mild El Paso enchilada sauce and I added chopped yellow onion. I froze the leftovers in a gallon ziplock baggie. I will definitely be adding this to my regular dinner recipes!

This protein rich recipe is a breeze to prep and the end result is brimming with well seasoned, fresh Mexican flavors. All the goodness of chicken enchiladas transformed into a hearty bowl of soup!
