ZERO WEIGHT WATCHERS FREESTYLE SMART POINTS PER SERVING!
I love the simplicity of this recipe. No need to chop up a bunch of ingredients. You just need a can opener and a slow cooker to make this soup. You don’t even have to cook or cut the chicken. You just put it in the slow cooker with the other ingredients and then shred the chicken with a fork after it is cooked. It took me less than 10 minutes to get this in the slow cooker before going to work and it smelled amazing when I came home at the end of the day. I LOVE the slow cooker!! (Have I mentioned that before?) Just like yesterday’s Skinny Sloppy Joe recipe, this soup can be made in the slow cooker or on the stove top. Scroll down to the bottom of the post for the directions on how to make this Creamy Chicken Enchilada Soup on the stove-top.

Take the chicken out of the slow cooker just before serving and shred.
Add the chicken back to the soup.
Stir in the Greek yogurt. (I didn’t have one whole cup so I just used what we had, so this soup would be creamier, and lighter in color, if you did the one cup of Greek yogurt that the recipe suggests)
Serve warm with cheese and chips if desired.
Stove-top instructions:
(If you will not be making this in the slow cooker, you can follow these stove-top instructions)
Place all the ingredients, except for the Greek yogurt, in a large pot, cover, and simmer over medium-low heat for 45 to 60 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.

The nice thing about this recipe is that the total points of the ingredients (that have points) is less than the number of servings, so if you just eat one cup it is more like 1/2 of a SmartPoint, which registers as zero points for one serving in the WW recipe builder…
