CHICKEN TACO SOUP



Chicken Taco Soup image

I found this hearty recipe online several years ago and often make it instead of chili. Made mostly of canned ingredients, this soup lets the slow cooker do the work for you so you can go about your hectic schedule. This recipe is very adaptable to your personal taste. To add more kick simply omit the one can of diced tomatoes and add a second can of diced tomatoes with green chilies.

CHICKEN TACO SOUP



Chicken Taco Soup image

This recipe came with some canned chicken we bought at Sam's Club. We were short on time so we made it on the stove top instead of in a Crockpot. My son, who is a cook, came up with the idea to pan roast the corn before adding. It turned out great! We served it with Tostito Scoops for "dipping" which our grandson loved. Next time I am going to add some Cilantro and Lime Juice to brighten it up a little. Hubby says it is a keeper!

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are the best choices for this soup. They cook quickly and evenly, and they're easy to shred.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Overcooked chicken is tough and dry. Cook it just until it's cooked through, about 10 minutes.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This soup is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, peppers, and corn.
  • Add some beans for extra protein and fiber. Black beans, pinto beans, or kidney beans are all good choices.
  • Season the soup to taste. This soup is pretty forgiving, so feel free to add more or less of the spices that you like. A good starting point is 1 teaspoon of chili powder, 1 teaspoon of cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
  • Serve the soup with your favorite toppings. Some good options include shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado, and cilantro.

Conclusion:

This chicken taco soup is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that's perfect for a weeknight dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken and vegetables. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying soup, give this recipe a try!
