Chicken Taco Soup

"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."

  1. My guest absolutely loved this soup. I didn't have 7-8 hours to cook it, so I grilled and diced chicken before adding. Allowed it to cook for 4 hours and it was incredible! Can't wait to serve this one again.
     
  2. Very easy and tasty! Slightly spicey. Enjoyed it very much. Have made it twice now and will make again. Great for a rainy day :) Thanks
     
  3. Really delicious! We had a great taco soup at a Mexican restuarant and wanted to try it at home. This was terrific! A little spicy for my kids - next time I'll use half a can of tomatoes with chiles and half a can of regular diced tomatoes. Served with crumbled tortilla chips on top. Everyone had seconds!
     
  4. This receipe was awesome. We made last weekend for a football party and it was enjoyed by all. My husband just asked me to make it again...he loved it! I put 2 cans of rotel instead of the diced tomatoes and cooked all night. It made the house smell so good....and it had some extra kick. Thanks!
     
  5. WOW! This recipe is FANTASTIC! I used green onions instead, and used fresh tomatoes with a can of green chilies, and also used drumsticks rather than breasts because that was what I had on hand. This is the kind of recipe that makes me LOVE the slowcooker. We put this together the night before and let it simmer all night (and the house smelled AMAZING all night), then had it for breakfast. I can tell this will become a family favorite!
