Happy Monday!! I don’t know about you but this weekend was super busy!! I had to work all weekend, the new season of Orange is the New Black dropped (and I already flew through it) and the temps finally dropped because it rained…hallelujah!! If you have already binged this season’s OITNB can you email me so we can talk about it?! I honestly didn’t know what to expect because season 5 was so CRAY but I really loved this season!
Since it was cooler outside, if mid-80’s counts as cooler, and I knew I wasn’t going to have time to cook because I worked all weekend I decided to make one of my go-to crock post meals, Chicken Taco Soup! This soup is super easy to make, doesn’t take very long and you can make it as mild or as spicy as you want. Plus I personally think soups taste better as leftovers because the flavors have longer to marinate post cooking…know what I mean?
I actually discovered this recipe at the beginning of summer and have made it at least once a week since. And since it was the first meal I made in my apartment. It’s really that good y’all.
Now most crockpot recipes you just dump all the ingredients and run and I fully admit to doing that the first few times I made it but I noticed the cream cheese separated when I did that and I wanted it more creamy so now I have a certain order I put my ingredients in and it has really made all the difference in the world.
First I put the chicken broth, taco seasoning, ranch seasoning and cream cheese in the crock pot and I take my immersion blender and blend it all up so it’s nice and creamy. Next I throw in my Rotel, black beans, corn and salsa and then mix it up really good. Lastly, I put my raw chicken in and kind of push it around until it’s pretty covered by the mixture. Then I let it cook on low for 6-7 hours, take the chicken out and shred it up, put it back in and call it done!
I eat it plain a lot but sometimes I like a little extra crunch and so I throw some tortilla chips or Fritos on top! YUM!!

We do Tacos every Tuesday in our house, but sometimes I like to change it up and this sounds like the perfect way to do that. I can’t wait to make this for dinner tomorrow.
I make beef taco soup in the slow cooker but I’ve never made chicken taco soup. I can eat soup all year long so this one is definitely a keeper. Yum!
I can’t wait to make this for my lunch and to call my mother in law and take it to her home to share with her and my stepdaughter and also my nice for the Ultimate Girls Day. Which is the perfect way to spend the first day of school when my son begins 5th Grade as it will keep me from missing him to much.
This definitely looks like something I would want to try. Anything with tacos and chicken mix together is absolutely delicious. This is definitely something I’m going to try.
I do eat soup year around. My family doesn’t, so I have to make it just for myself. This soup looks so good!
I will definitely be trying this in the fall! I am not a year round soup fan but I love it in the fall and winter and chicken taco is my favorite! I cannot wait to try this recipe-it seems very simple and yummy! Thank you!
Oh my gosh, yes. This is my kind of soup. I pinned this for later. I’m going to make this for dinner one night.
I would really love to chow into some of this! It looks like it is bursting with flavor!
This soup looks very good! I like making taco soup in a crockpot since it’s pretty easy to do. I never added cream cheese or fritos though-nice touch!
SO perfect when the weather is cold or if you’re craving some comfort food! I think it’s really awesome and it’s worth a try as well. Thanks for the lovely recipe! It’s not time consuming at all.
I love soup all year! I usually make it a few times a month. Adding this to my list to make.
Oh my gosh I love that you used fritos in it. I want to give this a try. This looks so wonderful! I’m trying to expand on my crockpot recipes.
Any food that has Fritos in it has me! Sounds like the perfect soup the kids will actually eat! Great way to sneak in some veggies on them .
I have always heard of taco soup but never actually tried it. This is something I would definitely love to make for the fam!
I have never had a taco soup. I love that you used chicken for the meat. I would love to try making this.
We too like our soups real creamy. though we are vegetarians, your tip about making the soup creamier is going to help us in making soups like cream of tomato and others.
Wow this soup sounds amazing. My husband loves tacos and would eat them every day. I gotta try this soup recipe.
This sounds easy to make and looks absolutely delicious. I love the addition of the Fritos in at the end though!
This chicken taco soup sounds amazing! I’m having issues with my jaw and am on soup for the next couple of days so this would be great!
Never heard of this kind of recipe before but that is quite interesting. Looks delish! I’d love to try this one someday, it reminds me of mac and cheese but with chicken and tacos.
This looks so good and simple to make, we do tacos at least once a week. I love trying new crockpot meals, thanks for sharing!
This definitely looks like something I would want to try. Anything with tacos and chicken mix together is absolutely delicious. This is definitely something I’m going to try.
