Love nachos? You need to try this Slow Cooker Nacho Cheese soup. It’s so easy even a kid can make it. My kids, did in fact, make this soup. It’s pretty much a dump everything in the crockpot and go type of recipe!
The best part of the soup is getting fun with all the toppings! We served ours with tortilla chips (of course this is a no brainer as it is nachos soup) and cheese and cilantro. But you could get really crazy and add jalapenos and olives and avocados and sour cream and whatever else you want!
My kids had fun with this video. We have year round school so whenever they are off track I have them make a video for me. When I showed my son the finished product he laughed and laughed at himself. He thinks he’s pretty awesome.
So have some fun and make this soup for any night of the week! It would also be a really great option for game day! Nachos in soup form…yum 🙂

use it in place of chicken.

I can not find the fiesta nacho soup from campbells but really want to make this meal. Any ideas on what I could substitute? I was thinking maybe fiesta nacho cheese in a can and maybe adding milk. Any thoughts?

Hasn't the Fiesta Nacho Cheese Soup been discontinued? I haven't seen that in years.
hmmm, it was at the store when I made this. I'm not sure though, maybe it's gone now. I'll have to check the next time I go to the store.
Old El Paso makes a nacho cheese dip which comes in a small jar (don't know the ml/oz amount) but it is pretty pricey ~ $4. I wouldn't dilute anything until I saw how the dish was developing in the cooker…don't want it too watery…or maybe you do!!
oh my gosh! Could your kids be any cuter? What an awesome video.
Thanks Mary! I think they're pretty cute…most of the time 🙂
I was planning on slow cooker salsa chicken tonight, but now I think I have to make nacho soup!! even though it's supposed to be super HoT today, my kids would LOVE this
