Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Soup

So GOOD. Hit the spot.

I decided to use mince meat instead of chicken, and it was amazing! Will definitely make it again, and as I said with beef mince instead of chicken.

My hubby absolutely loved this. I doubled the recipe and added about 3 extra cups of chicken broth. Also used mild Rotell. Will definitely make it again. If I were making this for children, I would use petite diced tomatoes instead of the rotel.

Very good and very easy. This is the type of recipe you can switch it up however you like. I decided to add a can of cream of chicken and it was just slightly creamy and sooo good. Definitely a good slow cooker recipe, it got better and better the longer it cooked. I cooked on low for 8 hrs just because it was more convenient. I used Marinated chicken thighs and it turned out so good. This is for sure a core base recipe that's sooo easy to edit to your liking! I recommend trying it as is first, then switching it up because there isn't much that could go wrong with something like this. Super yummy.

I added 2 cups broth , doubled the chicken and added one chopped chili pepper in adobo sauce. At the end I thickened it a bit with a little cornstarch and water mixture.

I loved this soup and will be making it often.

I used ground beef for mine. More than tripled the broth, I didn't use black beans, just chili beans, added another half of a packet of taco seasoning and some chili powder. Also used medium Rotel for one can and it gave it some good spice!

Didn’t have the rotel so actually used a can of diced tomatoes, a can of green enchilada sauce, and didn’t completely drain all the starch from the can of white chili beans.

Excellent. I cubed and cooked the chicken ahead of time. A few changes - I didn’t have tomato sauce so I used 8 oz of fire roasted tomatoes, increased the chicken broth to 10oz (a can) and used Penny’s Arizona Dreaming instead of Taco Mix. I low simmered it on the cooktop for about an hour and a half. We absolutely loved it.

Cooked in pressure cooker, ad actual chili after pressure cooking so the cooker doesn't "burn."

It was good but will add more broth and try some fresh cilantro next time. It was a very meaty dish.

One of the best soups to make. Taste really good and I will be making it again .

Really good. I used Rotisserie Chicken instead of the chicken breasts

After looking at other reviews, I decided to add 3 cups of broth to this recipe and it came out perfect! I also only added one can of Rotel for those who aren’t a huge fan of tomatoes. Would definitely recommend this recipe and I will be making this again!

This recipe is a keeper! Simple, easy, and delicious! More on the spicy side, but I could use less chili powder next time.

I would recommend cooking the noodles separately, draining, and adding to the crock pot fully cooked. Maybe it's just the noodles I bought, but when added to the crock pot uncooked it left a sort of powdery residue on them. When I boiled them separately first, they didn't have the residue and the whole thing tasted much better.

Added some Garlic, and parsley to the recipe and it turned out great

Delicious and easy to make

It was good. I substituted some of the beans, but I don't think that matters much. I did end up adding more spices and some hot sauce, but that's down to personal taste. The milder version of it also tastes good. I did add a little corn meal in to make the liquid a bit thicker. Speaking as someone who doesn't like raw tomatoes or really chunks of cooked tomatoes either, there enough other textures and melded flavors in this that the tomato chunks blend in and don't bother me. I will be making this again at some point.

Added some extra seasonings, garlic, and jalepeño peppers for a little kick. Delicious! Fan favorite

I didn't use chili beans (I forgot them) and I added some ranch seasoning and it was delicious!

A bit bland, difficult to cook chicken thoroughly. Next time I will add more spices and make chicken separately to ensure correct temperature to avoid possibly becoming ill.

Add like 3x the stock if you want soup

Add a little extra broth Top with sour cream, onion, cheese, chips.

I added a little cayenne and just did canned chicken because I forgot to thaw my chicken, and it was still amazing

It was okay

Added double the chicken stock based on other reviews Also added some onion and garlic, Cajun spices instead of a second taco seasoning packet, and topped with green onion and crushed tortilla chips. I think it could use a bit more seasoning, but it was good and my husband ate it! Not sure the green onion really worked that well, so I'd skip that next time

This was very good. Made it for a large group and I got a lot of compliments which is rare around here. My only thing is it was more like a chicken taco chili than a soup and I more than doubled the chicken broth. I also added an extra packet of seasoning and it was perfect.

This was pretty amazing but isn't soupy at all and could honestly be put into tortilla or have tortilla chips with it. Next time I'm going to add more chicken broth .

Tripled the broth and felt more like soup. Added cilantro and various Mexican spices (e.g. adobo). Was pretty good.

Really good and super easy to make, a little bit of a kick, I doubled the broth and the onions but it still could have used more broth

Needed WAY more seasoning

It needs salt and pepper added. I also added onion and garlic powder for some more flavor.

Would maybe make it a little bit spicier next time. But very good and filling.

Recognized this as a simpler version of the original recipe that I have been making for many years. Came out great, less spicy, but no loss of flavor. Served with shredded cheddar and sour cream.

Slow cooker was too small to put in more rotel, diced tomatoes, and the pinto beans. I hoped the one rotel and crush tomatoes w chili would be spicy enough but it wasn’t spicy at all. Added sour cream, avocado, and crushed chips on top. Wanted it to be more soupy so I added more chicken broth after eating some

Would refried beans also work in this recipe?

I thought this was very tasty and good. My wife liked it but was a bit too spicy for her.

Replace taco seasoning packet with 2 tbsp Chili powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 0.5 tsp garlic powder and 0.5 tsp cayenne. Salt to taste

Add some mushrooms

Use green chilis in recipe

This was simple and delicious. Followed some of the tips from the comments on seasoning. I just added a large can of diced tomatoes and tomato paste because I didn't have green chilies and it was still good :). Green bell peppers was my only addition to the recipe. Also, like others said adding toppings like sour cream, cheese, tortilla chips and green onions makes it 😋😋😋

Felt more like chili than soup, but super tasty.

So good! Perfect for a cold and snowy day

Best taco soup ever!

Tastes great, ingredients are easy to source, takes almost no effort to prepare, super healthy! If you have access to a slow cooker, this dish should be a no-brainer. I added more salt at the end, but I generally like my meals a bit more salty than normal

Sauté onions and garlic first, added smoked paprika and chipotle chili power

My kids smashed on this with a side of lime tortilla chips! Even the picky hubby ate 2 Bowles 💕

Based on several other reviews, I sautéed a whole onion and fresh garlic. I did use taco seasoning but also added some additional green chilies, cumin and smoked paprika. Slow cooked on low for 6 hours and the chicken was perfect! Not dry and shredded easily. Topped with shredded cheese, avocado and sour cream. So good!! Will absolutely be part of our rotation.

Sautéed onions before adding to slow cooker - topped w sour cream, shredded cheddar, avocado, and tortilla strips

super easy to make, and made leftovers

I went with gia made it edits and it was fantastic!

Added about a cup of sharp cheddar cheese at the end, also sauteed onions and garlic at beginning. Also added about a TBLS of tomato paste during the saute. For spices just eyeballed a bunch of cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, bit of oregano, seasoned salt and cayenne pepper. Cooked everything on the stove for about 2 hrs (don't have a slow cooker), came out great. Added final bit of salt that it needed at the end. Even super picky son liked it and ate a large bowl. This is fantastic topped with broken up tortilla chips.

This was so good. I cut up some tortillas and fried then for a topper. Was amazing

I used canned chicken to save time and effort since the chicken gets shredded in the end anyways. Kids loved it

Super tasty and easy! Will definitely be making this again.

Super easy to make and was pretty good. I cooked it on high for about 3 hours. I think next time I’d sauté the onions first for added flavor, and I think a touch of cumin and fresh garlic would help as well. Love that it’s pretty versatile and you can basically use whatever you have on hand in your pantry.

Added a bit of chipotle at the end for extra heat. Did all pinto beans. served with sour cream, cheese and tortilla strips

A winner for us! We really enjoyed this soup. Added jalapeño for a little extra spice. Will be making again!

I used scallion greens and no beans because I can't have onions and bean. I topped it with cheese and avocado.

I used ground turkey instead of chicken, which I cooked before using. I also cooked the onions first. Because I wanted a soup versus turkey chili I used 7 ounces of extra liquid. Flavorful and will be even better the next day.

So so good. Ended up sautéeing a whole onion before putting everything in the crock pot and using a whole can of chicken broth.

Love this - going to be become a staple in our household. Can have items substituted (I took out the corn and added sweet potato)

Followed the recipe and hubby and I both loved it. It had a mild kick to the flavor which was fine for our tastes. Could add more seasonings to boost the heat.

I made this soup on the stove top due to time and it was delicious!!

The chicken wasn't as tender as it usually is when I make a crock pot soup and I think 4 hours just wasn't enough time on low.

I added additional seasoning via personal preference.

Yum! We used ground turkey breast instead of chicken, and it basically became a really tasty chili. We also browned the meat and softened the onions ahead of time for a little extra flavor using the saute function on our instant pot.

I used 1lb hamburger meat & also added onion salt & minced garlic! I also think it was done about an hour & a half earlier so (2 hours 40 minutes til done). Also layered tortilla chips on bottom of our bowls!

I made this with a good many adjustments, because I didn't plan ahead for the slow cooker, and used the instant pot instead. I used dried black and pinto beans and added a good bit of chicken broth. Everything went in at once, and I cooked for 25 minutes. I shredded the tenders before serving. Family loved this soup. I thought it was quick, easy, and super tasty. Made for good leftovers too. I'm thinking this will be a good one to meal prep for lunches.

It was a little on the spicy side. I added an extra can of beans and used rotel instead of regular canned tomatoes

meh. it was just ok

I covered the beans, tomato’s and chicken in extra broth, but didn’t change the recipe aside from that. It tastes great, but needs a little extra seasoning.

Super easy, good flavors and something everyone loved.

Delicious! I made some cilantro lime rice to go with it and it paired great.

I didn't use corn and replaced it with a bed of rice. Next time I'll add a can of wolf chili half way through cooking.

So easy and delicious! I didn't add chicken and it was still tasty and filling. This recipe is a keeper!

really good with avocado on top!

Added Parsley, shredded cheese & some Fritos. Really good!

I thickened it slightly and served it over a cilantro-lime rice mix which is found in stores. Taste explosion.

What a great way to use pantry items! I couldn't find a can of black beans so I added dark red kidney beans instead, and it was delicious. Instead of a half cup of yellow onion I used a whole white one because that is what I had on hand. This recipe is extremely adaptable to what you have in your pantry. Even my picky eater, soup hating husband loved it.

Was very easy to make and tasty.. Threw it all in the slow cooker in between meetings. My boyfriend needed more salt to taste. I was fine with it as is.

I used 2 cans of black beans instead of a can of pinto beans. I also added green and black olives .

Alarm bells started ringing when I noticed that the ingredients list didn't match the photo. So I didn't pick up any of the suggested toppings which was a mistake. Overall the recipe without the toppings was fine and tasted even better the next day.

This soup was super easy to make and it tasted great leftover. I topped it with cheese and tortilla chips.

Completely forgot the onion so I used onion powder.. I mixed up the rotel and used two different kinds (chunky and I think mexican style?) The soup ended up thick enough to use as burrito filling (highly suggest for people that don't like soup!). Overall it was filling and delicious.

I chopped up 4 corn tortillas and added it. It was yummy!

I halved recipe & it fed the 2 of us with a little left over. I used beer instead of broth. I would use hotter Rotel next time.

Add more spice

Very yummy and easy to make! Whole family loved!

Everyone thought it was wonderful. Better than expected. I made sure that I used a mild rotel so the soup was not very spicy. It did thicken as it sat. Quite good.

Add cream cheese

Very good soup! I made it in the pressure cooker, on high pressure for 20 minutes. It burned a bit on the bottom, so next time I'll try 15 minutes. It was a little too spicy for my family, so I'll adjust that next time too.

8 added a block of cream cheese to make it creamier, and served with fritos

It was really delicious, and I added a bit of chipotle seasoning to give it a more smoky and spicy taste. Adding cream cheese too, is definitely recommended!
