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 carton chicken broth (you can choose to eliminate this for a more chili consistency)
- 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 🙂
This sounds amazing!!
Tomato sauce – like spaghetti sauce? Please confirm exactly.
Also, what size cans of tomato sauce and canned tomatoes do you use? I see that one person already asked but no reply given.
Thanks for you help as I would love to try.
Hi Jan! The sauce I use is Hunt’s Tomato Sauce 398ml, or store brand (it doesn’t really matter). the Diced Tomatoes in my pantry are Walmart’s Great Value brand and 411g.
I honestly never look, I just open a can and pour it in. Sometimes I use a larger can of tomato sauce if that’s all I have on hand and it’s been fine. Hope that helps!
Thanks for the reply. I will try this next week after I buy some ingredients.
This sounds yummy, def need to try this
this looks super good!
This would be the first thing I cook in my new Hamilton beach intellitime slow-cooker that I win from you Tenille! then I will furnish you with a new creation every month for your blog lol This looks sooo delicious and just what i want to go home to on a cold day!!

I have tried this taco soup and I have to say it’s pretty amazing. I usually add a bit more spice to fit my taste a bit more, but good nonetheless
slow cooker chicken taco soup looks good but I would substitute something else for the beer.
just reading the title I thought this one would be to spicy for me, but after reading the the recipe it won’t be hot for me at all and sounds very very tasty, now I am going to have to make this one and I think I would serve it with some pita or naan bread mmmm
