  • Cook on low for 8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
  • Add cheese, tortilla strips, and other favorite toppings right before serving.

Notes

Recipe Tips.
  • Use leftover Thanksgiving turkey or rotisserie-style turkey to make prep extra easy.
  • Drain the tomatoes, corn, and beans so the soup does not get watered down.
  • Cook on low for the best flavor if you have time.
  • Add toppings right before serving so tortilla strips stay crunchy and avocado stays fresh.
  • Make-ahead tip: this soup reheats well, so make it a day ahead and add toppings when serving.
Store. Refrigerate soup without toppings in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Reheat: Warm on the stovetop, in the microwave, or in the slow cooker until heated through. 
Freeze. Freeze soup without toppings for up to 3 months.
Thaw: Thaw overnight in the refrigerator, then reheat and add fresh toppings before serving.
