More About This Recipe

  • This soup has it all. It’s packed with flavor from fire roasted tomatoes, green chiles, taco seasoning and chicken broth. It’s rare that a soup can pack such a hearty punch, but the chicken and black beans in this chicken taco soup add up to 26 grams of protein per serving! We love our slow-cooker recipes because you have the flexibility to cook on low for eight hours or you can cut the time in half by cooking on high if you need the meal sooner. As with other Mexican meals, you get to top this soup with your favorite garnishes, whether that’s shredded cheese, sour cream, cilantro, avocado or all of the above! If you’re looking to step up the spice, add in a little of your favorite hot sauce before you eat. Looking for more taco recipes? We’ve got those too!
