If there’s one thing I love it’s Trader Joe’s meal hack recipes. If there’s another thing I love it’s the fall seasonal Trader Joe’s products. And if there’s a third thing, it’s easy and healthy meals with minimal clean up. This Fall Harvest Chicken Tortilla Soup recipe checks off all the boxes! The ingredients are easy to keep on hand and you just throw them all in the slow cooker!
Trader Joe’s Fall Chicken Tortilla Soup
What makes this Chicken Tortilla Soup special? Definitely the 2020 Fall Trader Joe’s products! In lieu of just regular salsa, I swapped Trader Joe’s Fall Harvest Salsa. It’s a sweet combination of harvest vegetables with a spicy salsa kick. And instead of strips of tortillas, I COULD NOT pass up the adorable Fall Leaf Trader Joe’s Corn Chips!
My Trader Joe’s Fall Chicken Tortilla Soup recipe is also dairy free! It’s a great postpartum recipe when you’re short on time (and hands) but need something healthy and filling! Reheats easy for quick lunches. I know all this from experience 😉
