Chicken Taco Soup Recipe. Shredded chicken, beans, and corn simmered in a tomato soup seasoned with taco seasoning.

Chicken Taco Soup

This variation of Taco soup adds shredded chicken instead of ground beef. The soup simmers blending flavors of chicken, chili beans, corn, and taco seasoning in a tomato chicken-based soup. Top with sour cream, cheese, and cilantro, and dive in with your spoon. Add tortilla chips for a little crunch.

Ingredients for Chicken Taco Soup

  • Onion
  • Cooked shredded chicken. (You can use rotisserie chicken)
  • Beans – I use Bush’s Chili Beans. I use a combination of pinto beans and kidney beans. For the black beans, I use regular canned black beans with no chili flavor. I make sure to rinse them really well.
  • Whole Kernel Corn
  • Tomato Sauce
  • Diced Tomatoes with Diced Chilis – I use Ro-Tel.
  • Taco Seasoning
  • Chicken Broth
