Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 white onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 jalapeño diced
  • 1 teaspoon cumin ground
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt plus more to taste
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper ground
  • 15 ounces crushed tomatoes 1 can
  • 15 ounces corn 1 can, drained, golden, sweet
  • 15 ounces black beans 1 can, drained and rinsed
  • 6 cups chicken broth low-sodium
  • 3 cups chicken cooked and shredded
  • jalapeno pepper for garnish, sliced jalapeños, diced avocado, freshly chopped; tortilla strips chips
  • sour cream
  • avocado
  • guacamole
  • tortilla chip
  • cilantro

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Add the garlic, jalapeño, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper, and cook until the garlic becomes fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Add the crushed tomatoes, corn, beans, and chicken broth. Stir to combine.
  4. Increase to high heat until the soup comes to a boil. Once boiling, turn the heat to medium-low and let the soup simmer for 30 minutes.
  5. Stir in the chicken, garnish with sliced jalapeños, sour cream, diced avocado, guacamole, tortilla strip chips, and freshly chopped cilantro, and serve.

Notes

  • Crockpot instructions:
  • Storage: Store soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
  • Jalapeño seeds are pretty spicy! For a little heat, discard the seeds. For extra heat, add the seeds to the soup, too. For even more heat, add a couple more diced jalapeños to the soup!
  • For even more flavor, use Homemade Chicken Broth.
  • To make chicken taco soup in a crockpot, use 2 raw chicken breasts instead of pre-cooked chicken. Place everything into the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the pot, shred it, and stir it back in.
