Creamy Chicken Taco Soup image

This is a creamy version of taco soup. Using cheap bone in chicken thighs and a crock pot make this a cheap and easy way to feed your family. I've put in the rice as optional. I always have pre-cooked rice in the freezer and it made a great addition, but this soup is also good on its own. The spice is on the mild side for my family. If you like hot, use hot taco seasoning or add hot sauce at the table. Add a salad and a nice piece of cornbread and dinner is served.

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 lbs chicken thighs, bone-in
14 ounces chicken broth, canned (or homemade)

Steps:

  • Remove skin and visible fat from chicken thighs. Place in crock pot with broth, beer, celery and onion.

Add diced chicken back to broth in crock-pot. This step can be done ahead of time and refrigerated overnight. Then in the morning, skim off fat collected on top and allow crock to sit for 30 mins at room temp before turning on and adding other ingredients.

  • 30 mins before serving add cream cheese to crock-pot and put on high. Stir well before serving, breaking up large pieces with back of spoon. If you are adding rice, do so now and allow to heat thru for a few minutes.
  • Top with crushed chips and cheese.

This is my new go-to soup recipe! It's so creamy and comforting, and the chicken is cooked to perfection. I love that I can use leftover chicken or rotisserie chicken to make it even easier. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

This soup was easy to make and so flavorful! I used rotisserie chicken to save time, and it worked perfectly. I also added a can of corn and black beans for extra veggies. My husband and I both loved it.
