Dinner Tonight: Crockpot Chicken Taco Soup
Ok, so for dinner on Sunday I made this recipe, one of my absolute favorites for it's simplicity and taste. I ate and ate and ate. On Monday, I ate some more. Man, I love eating now that it doesn't make me throw up! Yay for not being nauseated 24/7 anymore!!!
Tonight, only being Wednesday, I am making it again! I know, I'm a little insane. But, seriously it is that good! That and maybe my body is trying to tell me that I need some major veggies and protein since months of eating nothing can really wreak havoc on your body, especially when there is a little someone else nestled in your belly.
So, here it is. My super yummy in your tummy recipe for Chicken Taco Soup. Make it, let it simmer all day, smell the 'yum' take over your house and then devour with shredded cheese, sour cream and taco doritos chips! Awesome!
Chicken Taco Soup
2-4 chicken breast (depending on size, about 1 pound...these can be frozen too!)
1 can no salt added corn, drained
1 can black beans
1 can chili beans or light red kidney beans
2 cans diced tomatoes with green chiles
1 8oz can tomato sauce
1 12oz bottle of beer (or chicken broth)
1 1.25 oz packet taco seasoning
Place all the above ingredients into your crockpot and mix well. Set on low for 7-8 hours or high for 3-4. Pull the chicken out, shred, and place back into crockpot. Devour!!
Oh, and don't forget the shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream and TACO doritos chips...this makes it over the top AWESOME!
Looks so good you want to eat it off the computer screen, don'tcha!?!
YUM!

YUM! Wish I had some right now :-). I have a similar recipe but it uses ground beef, whole tomatoes, and no beer. I'll have to try it with chicken instead of the beef.
This looks delicious. I've been making a lot of soups lately and I really want to try this one! Thanks for sharing it with us.
Delicious!!
Come share your yummy recipe at my party: Thursday's Treasures!

This sounds great and I like the chicken in it!

Looks like I found dinner for tonight. Thanks for the tasty recipe. You rock!
hi maggie, do you drain the beans before you add them, i don't buy canned beans anymore so all i have are cooked and drained dried beans.
@ Anonymous-Hi! I don't drain the beans cause the juice helps thicken the soup a bit but I'm sure it would be fine with cooked beans and no liquid too!
{DROOOOOL}
Just put in my menu planner for one of my Thursday Crock Pot Dinners
I just made this and it was soooo good. Even better the next day!
I have all ingredients for this- although may add ground turkey instead of chicken, since I just got some at the store. Thanks for all these great tips and recipes!!! I really love good ideas, especially for my crockpot:)
this sounds soooo good. Can't wait to try it this weekend. Thanks!
So yummy! This recipe has been added to my rotation of crock pot recipes. Thanks!
Made this for dinner tonight. We LOVED it and will be making it again for sure. So easy!!! I used Tyson frozen grilled and ready chicken pieces instead of raw chicken and more 12 oz of tomato sauce rather than the 8.
I do this a lot (using homemade chicken broth from boiling down the chicken) and i also add a can of black beans, black eye peas, hominy and corn.
I found this recipe a few months ago and have made it many, many times. We LOVE it! In fact, I'm making it again tonight, haha. It's so easy to throw together. Thank you for sharing!
So I can put the chicken breast in the crock pot frozen is this correct?
Does it matter the kind of beer?
Any beer will do!
I am not that much of a cook but i am starting to cook more lately. I am doing this one today! So I can put the chicken in there frozen? How long would you say it takes until you can shred the chicken?
This was SO yummy and easy to make...Thanks!! I am adding this to my cookbook!
Can you tell me how many this recipe serves?
Hello! Just wanted to say this recipe is AWESOME!!!!! I had left overs for days (only two in our house) and didn't mind at all eating it for a few days. I did use chicken stock not beer, one can regular rotel, one can HOT rotel, and hot taco seasoning it was SO SO SO GOOD! Thanks!
Made this for some friends tonight. There were six of us and we all went back for seconds. People were scraping the bottom of the crock pot for more! I made homemade cornbread instead of Doritos though. It was fantastic! Thanks!
Have you ever done this recipe with the green chiles?? My kids love anything Mexican but I tone down the spice some times. Was thinking of using the tomatoes without chiles. Think it will still be good???
This sounds divine! I'm always on the look out for new ways to prepare chicken and this sounds great! Thanks for posting this.
