SLOW COOKER CREAMY CHICKEN TACO SOUP



Slow Cooker Creamy Chicken Taco Soup image

Reminiscent of the very popular dish King Ranch Chicken in the form a soup. With all the same flavors and the convenience of throwing everything into a slow cooker, this will also quickly become a favorite. Top with fried corn tortilla strips, if desired.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 serving nonstick cooking spray
1 cup diced onion
1 cup diced bell pepper
2 teaspoons salt, divided
2 cups chicken broth
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chiles (such as RO*TEL®)
1 (10 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chiles (such as Ortega®)
2 tablespoons oil
1 tablespoon taco seasoning
½ teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast

Steps:

  • Spray a slow cooker with cooking spray. Add onions, bell pepper, and 1 teaspoon salt. Stir in chicken broth, diced tomatoes, condensed soup, and chiles.

CREAMY CHICKEN TACO SOUP



Creamy Chicken Taco Soup image

This is a creamy version of taco soup. Using cheap bone in chicken thighs and a crock pot make this a cheap and easy way to feed your family. I've put in the rice as optional. I always have pre-cooked rice in the freezer and it made a great addition, but this soup is also good on its own. The spice is on the mild side for my family. If you like hot, use hot taco seasoning or add hot sauce at the table. Add a salad and a nice piece of cornbread and dinner is served.

2 lbs chicken thighs, bone-in
14 ounces chicken broth, canned (or homemade)

15 ounces diced tomatoes, canned
1 ounce taco seasoning mix, 1 pkg
8 ounces fat free cream cheese, cubed
3 cups brown rice, cooked (optional)
tortilla chips, crushed (optional)
cheddar cheese (optional)

Steps:

  • Remove skin and visible fat from chicken thighs. Place in crock pot with broth, beer, celery and onion.

Add diced chicken back to broth in crock-pot. This step can be done ahead of time and refrigerated overnight. Then in the morning, skim off fat collected on top and allow crock to sit for 30 mins at room temp before turning on and adding other ingredients.
