The original name for this recipe was Slow Cooker King Ranch Chicken Soup. I have no idea how it got the name king ranch or what it really means. Since it has southwest flavors in it I changed the name to fit the flavor of it better.
This soup had such good flavor, not overly spicy, just a hint of a kick with plenty of flavor. This soup does require making a sauce first and then it is an easy dump everything in the crock pot.
