Slow Cooker Coconut Lime Chicken Soup
ShareEasy and flavorful slow cooker coconut lime chicken soup. A perfect dinner for any night of the week!
This weekend I finally got to watch Furious7. I had every intention of seeing it in the theaters, but it never happened… so I had to wait. It was worth the wait. I know I’m likely one of the last to see if but if you haven’t seen it yet, you must! It was so well done, just as all of the others were. Action packed and generally a fun watch. I expected to cry, but I didn’t. Though, I’ll admit the end was the hardest. Perhaps if I’d seen it sooner after Paul Walkers death, it would’ve been a different story. I’m looking forward to the 8th and final movie in the series, but we have a bit of a wait before seeing that…2 years or so anyway.
We also played one of our favorite games. I play random music and make the Mr guess the band/artist. It can get pretty comical when it’s a super random band and he gets it in just a few seconds. Plus, it’s a great way to hear a lot of old favorites that I’d otherwise not here. Even some of my favorites, that would sadly now be called classics, aren’t played on the radio anymore, so YouTube is my best bet to hear them again!
Has anyone else been disappointed by the season premieres so far? I know they typically don’t have the same wow factor as the finales but I still expect more than I’ve been seeing. I’m almost ready to give up on a few old favorites after just an episode. I’ll give them a bit longer before deciding for sure and hope they’re able to get back into the swing of things sooner than later.
In the meantime… this coconut lime chicken soup.
It’s a fun blend of your favorite chicken and vegetable soup with a fun flavor twist! This slow cooker chicken soup has a creamy coconut base with a hint of lime and lots of flavor! Since it’s a super easy slow cooker dish, that means it’s perfect for any night of the week!
Make a minimal effort recipe even easier by preparing the veggies and chicken ahead! Then all you have to do is toss everything in the slow cooker in the morning and you’ll come home to a comforting dinner ready to devour!
Be sure to add this flavorful coconut lime chicken soup to your dinner plans!

Notes
I actually haven’t even watched any of the premieres yet. I’m waiting for Vampire Diaries in Oct ;) Judge me!
In other news: I am obsessing over this soup! I LOVE that you brought some “summery” flavor into a slow cooker meal! Pinned!
I can’t judge because I love that show too ;) We’ll have to discuss after the premiere!
This is right up my street Rachel! I adore slow cooker recipes, hope to see more in the upcoming months : )
Thanks Faye!
I don’t know how I cried and you didn’t at the end. I could probably still cry thinking about the fact that Paul Walker is actually dead! Anyway…this soup. I freakin’ love the coconut +lime combo when it comes to soups. I could eat this all winter long.
Oh the tears were there but I managed to hold them back lol I refused to let it happen.
Coconut + Lime = LOVE!!! Ok, so, weird story: My hubby services fire extinguishers and happened to be doing the LA Morgue 2 days after Paul Walker’s death :( He ended up seeing a severely burned body. So, so sad!! Pretty sure I would cry if I watched the movie even now!
Oh my gosh… I can’t even imagine seeing that so soon after and wondering if it’s him or not.
This looks so delicious and warming! i love that it’s a healthier take on some thai soups that I love so much.
Thanks Dani!
I haven’t seen it yet and both my husband and I really want too! The evenings just seem to get away from us and we just go to bed, I know we are so boring!! Now this soup isn’t boring and I can’t wait to try it! It is finally starting to cool off here so I can think about making some soups.
We’re totally not late night people so no judging here! ;) But definitely see it sometime!
perfect!!
I am def making this recipe this weekend. it can be whole30 compliant! (which I’m not doing now, but I try to stick to for some meals for balance)
I hope you love it! :)
This soup is absolutely amazing! I discovered this recipe about 2 months ago and this is my third time making it. The soup is delicious and the leftovers are even more flavorful. I like to serve it with rice on the side. Cant beat a crockpot recipe with a very simple prep as well! Easy peasy.
So glad to hear you’ve enjoyed it so much, Victoria! Thanks for sharing :)
