Simple Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Soup

October 17, 2016 by Laura Tucker Leave a Comment

The leaves are falling on the ground here in my neck of the woods, and the temps are starting to cool off nicely in the afternoon. Cold weather is coming, y’all! I can feel it! It won’t be long and we’ll officially break out the jackets, boots and long sleeves and bask in all of Autumn’s glory. I. Can’t. Wait!

And with the coming cooler weather, it’s time to start breaking out the slow cooker and start dusting off those recipes for soups, stews and chili! Mmm, I could eat that sort of thing all year long! (I can’t even tell a lie, y’all. I DO eat it all year long!)

Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Soup - a simple recipe that's perfect for a winter time meal!

So with zero hesitation, I broke out my slow cooker and decided that we were definitely having some taco soup for supper. It’s such an easy meal to throw together, and it’s so delicious and soothing on a cold winter day! My family typically uses ground beef in their taco soup, but I like to use a little chicken in mine every now and then. It’s SO good!

Here’s a copy of my recipe for you to save. As far as the ingredients go, you can get as creative as you like! We love to use chick peas in addition to chili or kidney beans from time to time because of their amazing health benefits, but feel free to use whatever sort of bean that you like!

Another great thing about this dish is that it freezes really well. If you have a good bit of leftovers, store it in a freezable container and just pull it out and thaw the next time you’re ready for it!
