Slow cooker chicken taco soup Ingredients

These are the ingredients you’ll need. All the exact amounts are in the printable card at the bottom of this post.

It requires just a few basic ingredients:

Black beans
White kidney beans
Diced tomatoes
Canned corn
Onion
Chicken stock (I made mine with OXO chicken)
Taco seasoning
2-3 skinless boneless chicken breasts

I discovered this new-to-me recipe online and modified slightly this recipe.

Directions

The assembly of this soup is quick & easy. Here’s how to do it:

1. Chop up the onion

Dice the onion and place it in the bottom of the crock pot.

Tip: To cut up an onion without crying, make sure you are using a super sharp knife. It’s the juices from the onion are what sting your eyes. If you can slice them without making the onions weep, you won’t weep either!

2. Dump all the ingredients into the slow cooker

Add all the rest of the ingredients including the beans (drained and rinsed), corn, diced tomatoes, taco seasoning, and chicken stock, to the slow cooker. Stir together.

3. Add the chicken breasts

Place the chicken breasts on the sauce, and using a fork, press them down until the liquid is totally covering each of them.

4. Sprinkle salt, pepper and other spices

Add salt & pepper & extra spices for your family’s taste if you like things really spicy!

5. set the slow cooker and let it cook

Turn crock pot on low and cook at least 7 hours. This will make the chicken easy to shred.

6. Shred the chicken and serve

When ready to eat, take out chicken breast, shred with 2 forks, and add back into the soup.

The Best Toppings for Chicken Taco Soup

Serve with sour cream and guacamole or whatever taco toppings you like. We like ours with cheddar cheese, fresh tomatoes, and a side of corn chips.

Can you freeze this soup?

One of my favorite things about this soup is how wonderfully it freezes. You can literally prep this meal and stick it in the freezer. Then, all you have to do is take it out the night before, let it thaw, and then cook it in the slow cooker!

Here’s how to freeze this soup:

Chop up the chicken and onions.
Put all the ingredients into a large freezer bag (gallon size works best.)
Label the bag with the recipe name and date.
Lay the bag flat in the freezer. This makes it easier to stack.

How to thaw and cook the frozen soup:

Put the bag in the refrigerator the night before.
Pull the bag out and dump all contents into the slow cooker.
Set the slow cooker and let it cook!

It will last 3 months in the freezer and still taste just as fresh and amazing.

Yummy!! ~And perfectly simple for busy days. Before you go, check out these other Easy Dinner Ideas!
