This Creamy Chicken Taco Soup requires very little prep work, yet results in a hearty, super flavorful soup! And the best part of all, it takes just 30 minutes from start to finish!
Helloooo soup weather!! Is there really anything more comforting than a big bowl of soup to warm you up?! I think not! And while some soup recipes take all day to cook and simmer, this one is an exception. In just thirty minutes, you’ll have a beautiful pot of soup on the table, full of hearty chicken and Tex-Mex flavors!
Creamy Chicken Taco Soup Ingredients
- Chicken: Diced up leftover grilled chicken or shredded rotisserie chicken works great.
- Chicken Broth
- Black Beans: You can use regular or the low/no-sodium black beans. Either way, you’ll drain and rinse them before using.
- Tomatoes with Green Chilies: Be sure to look at the label before you purchase these – they are sold with varying levels of heat. If you want to keep the soup pretty mild, use the original.
- Corn: You can either use a can of whole kernel corn (drain) OR use 1 ½ cups of frozen corn or homemade sweet corn cut off the cob.
- Taco Seasoning
- Minced Onion
- Cream Cheese: You can use regular or the 1/3 less fat cream cheese;, however, I find that the regular cream cheese melts into the soup better.
- Toppings: One of my favorite things about this recipe is how you can customize it with toppings at the end from tortilla chips to cheddar cheese, jalapeno slices, avocados and everything in between!
