Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken breast
- 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 (10 ounce) can Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies, undrained
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 (10.75 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 packet (1 ounce) taco seasoning mix
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine the shredded chicken, black beans, kidney beans, Rotel, diced tomatoes, cream of chicken soup, and chicken broth.
- Stir in the taco seasoning, cumin, and chili powder.
- In a small bowl, whisk the taco seasoning packet contents with the 1/4 cup of water to create a slurry. Add this mixture to the soup pot.
- Bring the soup to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low.
- Simmer for at least 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to blend.
- Serve hot with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- For a spicier soup, add 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper or use hot Rotel.
- To make this a creamy chicken taco soup, stir in 1/2 cup of sour cream or cream cheese during the last 5 minutes of simmering.
- For a gluten-free option, check that your taco seasoning packet is certified gluten-free.
- To make this a low carb chicken taco soup, omit the beans and serve over cauliflower rice instead of with tortilla strips.
- This recipe works well in a slow cooker: combine all ingredients and cook on low for 6 hours or high for 3 hours.
