I love using my slow cooker during the chiller time of year, especially during football season. Letting the slow cooker do all the work while I am enjoying time cheering on our favorite team. What I love about slow cooker cooking, is that you can combine your favorite ingredients in the bowl and then a few hours later have the most amazing dinner. That is exactly how I made this Slow Cooker Quinoa Tortilla Soup. I have a Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup that is just to die for and with some quinoa on hand – I decided to change it up a bit. So glad I did. This soup is amazing.
With the freshly roasted peppers, Hunt’s Diced Tomatoes and RO*TEL, this soup is packed with flavor. I grabbed a few cans of RO*TEL, because honestly who doesn’t use RO*TEL for their queso during football season, it’s the best. So I decided to pick up a few cans from Walmart, a couple to make queso for the kids and another for my Mexican-inspired soup.
Then with two cans of Hunt’s diced tomatoes, enchilada sauce, and chicken broth, the soup started to come together. Add some cumin and chili powder and you are set.
So while I am enjoying sipping on my Pumpkin Spice steamer, watching the leaves turn colors, and cheering on my favorite team, my slow cooker will be simmering my dinner.

How do you make Slow Cooker Quinoa Tortilla Soup?
Place oven on high broil. Line a cookie sheet with foil and place red and green bell peppers down. Add jalapeno. Broil on high for 5-10 minutes per side, or until skins are starting to turn a dark brown color. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
Add Hunt’s diced tomatoes, RO*TEL, enchilada sauce, and chicken broth to a slow cooker and turn the slow cooker on. Depending on how long you want this to simmer, turn it on low for 6-7 hours and high for 3-4 hours.
Chop the roasted peppers and jalapeno and add to the slow cooker. Add remaining ingredients: corn, black beans, onion, chili powder, cumin, cilantro, salt and pepper to taste. Lastly, add the quinoa, stir together and then place lid on slow cooker and let it simmer, until hot and ready.
I cook this on high heat and let it cook for a little over 4 hours, it comes out just perfect. Enjoy!

Hi, I was curious. Do you rinse your quinoa to remove the “bitter” before adding to the soup? Or do you use pre-rinsed quinoa?
