Crock Pot Chicken Taco Soup

This Crock Pot Chicken Taco Soup is so delicious that it just might replace my favorite cold-weather dish — chili. In fact, having the word soup in this recipe title is a bit misleading. It is so thick and delicious that you might mistake it for a chicken chili or a stew.

Like so many of my other slow cooker recipes, this one fits the “dump and go” model. Seriously. You just put all the ingredients in the crock, set the cooking time and move on with your day.

I’ve seen other slow cooker taco soup recipes that have you sauteeing some of the ingredients in a saucepan first. Why? That defeats the purpose of these easy CrockPot recipes. Either way, I think you’re going to love this thick soup that you can eat on its own on a cold day or serve over rice or with tortilla chips.

This recipe calls for Mexican corn. In the supermarket or on Amazon, you’ll find canned corn labeled Mexicorn. You could easily make your own by mixing regular canned corn with extra Ro-tel tomatoes that’s in this recipe. Or if you make Mexican-seasoned corn on the cob in the air fryer, make extra and then take the kernels from that recipes to use in this one.

While you have the slow cooker out, if you have beans leftover or you have leftover ham, then throw them together and make this delicious Crock Pot ham and bean soup.

Remove chicken and shred. Then, add it back to the slow cooker. Or use a fork and shred while it is still in the crock. It’s up to you. Top with cheese and scallions if desired.

Notes

For a shortcut on your ingredients, you can try this new Chili Magic Slow-Simmered White Chili Starter from the Bush’s brand as your base.

As mentioned earlier, this soup is thicker like a stew. You can eat it from a bowl or serve it over rice. Or, make it part of an appetizer and use tortilla chips for scooping.

If you want a soupier soup, if you will, you can add a can of chicken broth to the recipe.

This is great to top with your favorite taco or chili toppings. For a milder bite, you can mix in sour cream or plain Greek yogurt.
