When I think of soup, I think of comfort food. This easy chicken taco soup is not only comforting, it's a taco lovers heaven in one bowl! This taco flavored soup is filled with flavor.
Loaded with chicken and beans, then garnished with olives, avocado slices, corn and more! It's a delicious bowl you will make time and time again. Everyone love this easy chicken taco soup.
I started putting getting out the hamburger meat from the freezer to thaw and the thought came to mind, wow chicken would be great in this instead of the traditional hamburger taco meat. My favorite taco is piled high with chicken and cheese.
Love it with some beans, sour cream and jalapeno pepper's. This easy chicken taco soup is my favorite way to make it now. I use to only make it with hamburger meat.
I know one son love sour cream the other can take it or leave it. That's why I prefer to add the topping station to my tables. Everything from shredded cheese to chopped tomatoes, avocado, sliced olives and more is on it.
Everyone likes something different.
I can eat this soup all year round. I love the fact that it's so easy and quick to prepare. If your in a hurry, you can dump everything in a slow cooker and set it on low. When you come home its all set to eat, just saute the chicken or hamburger first.
I prefer getting the chilies mixed in diced tomatoes all in one can. I like them mild but you can buy them separate if you like the hotter chilies or more chilies in the soup. The green chilies give this a bold flavor Mexican flair. I really love that ingredient.
Also any of the the spices you add are to taste. This is the basic recipe. If you want more cayenne, garlic, cumin or chili powder, add it. I always dump more to taste by how my taste buds are for that day.
Sometimes I think something is salty one day and the next day it's the same amount and not enough. That's the exact reason I write "season to taste".
