There’s something so satisfying about having dinner in the slow cooker before 9am in the morning!
This is one of our favorite family recipe, and has been made many many times. What I like most about it is that the measurements are very much, “a little of this, a little of that!” Use a can of beer or a bottle. Use a large can of diced tomatoes or a smaller can – whatever you have on hand.
Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Soup
Prep time:
Cook time:
Total time:
Serves: 6
Ingredients
- 3 whole skinless, boneless chicken breasts
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 can Heinz Chili Style Beans
- 1 can whole kernel corn, drained
- 1 can tomato sauce
- 1 can or bottle of beer (I like Bud Lime in this recipe)
- 1 can diced tomatoes undrained
- 1 package taco seasoning
- shredded Cheddar cheese
- sour cream
- crushed tortilla chips (sea salt & lime)
Instructions
- Place the onion, chili beans, corn, tomato sauce, beer, and diced tomatoes in a slow cooker. Add taco seasoning, and stir to blend. Lay chicken breasts on top of the mixture, pressing down slightly until just covered by the other ingredients.
- Set slow cooker for low heat, cover, and cook for 5 hours.
- Remove chicken breasts from the soup, and shred with two forks on a cutting board.
- Stir the shredded chicken back into the soup, and continue cooking for 2 hours.
- Serve topped with shredded Cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and crushed tortilla chips.
I usually always make taco soup with ground beef, I like the chicken and ingredient variation in this one. Thanks for the yummy share!
You’re welcome! Same here, I’ve made it before with ground beef but never chicken. It was a nice change!
Looks good it’s a keeper. I want to use my slow cooker more also.
Yum! Always looking for slow cooker recipes, and soup too!
This is a combination of my 2 favorite dishes. Mexican flavor and crock pot cooking.
We love taco soup, but I haven’t made it in the slow cooker yet. Thanks for the idea!
I don’t eat tacos, but my husband and children would go crazy for this!
This looks amazing!
For mine i use black beans but no beer, and garlic.
This looks like a keeper Tenille. When it starts cooling off here I will give it a try
YUM! This looks delicious!
This looks amazing!
Sounds delicious! I love dinner in the slow cooker.
So I have this going right now but really am wondering about can sizes. Tomato sauce and canned tomatos both come in multiple sizes. Anyway crock pot is about to burst at the seams so I wondering if it is not the big cans…? Thinking i would like to have added black beans(no room now!) for a little fibre. But my house does smell amazing and hubby just sneaked a taste and says it is good.
I keep coming back for this recipe so I’m finally writing it down!
This looks so good! I am always looking for new soup recipes and will add this to my collection
