I crave this soup year around but it is absolutely the best when I use the tomatillos right out of the garden! The recipe was lost for several years so when I found it I had to get it recorded so I would not be without it again! The plants are looking good so I am getting ready to make the soup soon!

How To Make sopa de tomatillo

  • 1
    Place tomatillos in food processor and pulse until chunky.

    In a slow cooker, combine all ingredients except for chips and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours or high for 3 1/2 hours.
  • 3
    Remove chicken, let cool. Shred and return to soup. Sometimes I just add chunks in the beginning so I don't have to do this step.
