Easy Crock Pot Chicken Taco Soup
Description
The recipe involves placing raw chicken breasts in the slow cooker along with drained white northern beans, diced tomatoes with green chilis, chopped onion, chicken broth, and spices including taco seasoning, garlic salt, salt, and pepper. The soup cooks on low for 6 to 8 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours, during which the chicken becomes tender enough to shred easily in the pot.
Once shredded, the chicken is mixed back into the soup, distributing protein evenly. The resulting soup combines the warmth of spices with the creaminess of beans and acidity from tomatoes, creating a layered but straightforward taco-inspired flavor. It's practical for set-and-forget cooking and serves well as a casual dinner.
The soup benefits from additional white beans or tomatoes to stretch servings. Leftovers store well in airtight containers for 5-7 days, making it a convenient make-ahead option.
