Chicken Taco Soup is an easy, filling, flavorful dish that you can throw together anytime, and quickly. I like to make a big batch of my Instant Pot Shredded Chicken Taco meat, and keep it in the freezer to toss in this soup on a busy evening!
Chicken Taco Soup
There is nothing better on a chilly fall or winter evening that sitting down to a big bowl of warm soup and some fresh bread. That’s one of my ultimate favorite comfort meals. Add in a crisp green salad with all the fixings and I’m in a little bit of a dinner bliss.
Some soups can be labors of love though, and while I love it when I have the time to pour the better part of an afternoon into a pot, that isn’t always what ends of happening these days.
This chicken taco soup is one that can be thrown together really quickly using what you probably already have on hand, and is a quick timesaver for an easy weeknight meal.
Serve this with some fresh corn cakes for a perfect pair! Are you watching your carbs? Check out this awesome jalapeno cheese bread from Sweet C’s!
This is one of those awesome “dump and go” recipes that would work really well in a crockpot or slow cooker as well. You can adjust it to suit your family and your spice preferences, and really make this one your own.
Sometimes I make a ground beef version of this with leftover taco meat too!
Garnish with shredded cheese, sour cream, a lime, and some tortilla strips for a big bowl of comfort food that your whole family will love.
