Chicken Taco Soup

by aimee @ shugarysweets on September 20, 2011

This is one fabulous crockpot soup! I love soup, and I love my crockpot, so I made you all this tasty little concoction. I don’t know if it actually tastes like tacos, but it has taco seasoning. It’s far different from my tortilla soup (which I’m craving and will be making soon, and sharing that recipe as well).

This makes a lot of soup, so be ready to eat! Or invite friends over for dinner. Or invite me over, after all, I shared the recipe with you! Tomorrow at 6? Perfect.

crazy stupid amazing delicious.

awesome for a crowd – put out dishes of tortilla strips, lime, avocado, sour cream, shredded cheddar, jalapenos, green onions, cilantro, etc. and let people go nuts customizing.

huge yield – 14 cups!

Could this be made without a crockpot? Perhaps in a dutch oven?

Reply

Aimee October 13, 2011 at 5:21 pm

This could absolutely be made on the stovetop. You could just add the sour cream and cream cheese after it’s been heated through, then allow those ingredients to heat as well. Enjoy!

This soup was great! Any idea on how many servings this makes? Trying to figure out the calorie content.

Reply

Aimee October 26, 2011 at 6:58 pm

@Anonymous- I am so glad you enjoyed the soup. As for servings, I honestly have no idea! I’m so sorry!

This sounds great but it’s only me and the hubby. Does it freeze well?

Reply

Aimee November 14, 2011 at 7:58 pm

Candace, freeze the soup before adding in the sour cream and cream cheese. Works perfect!

Twingle Mommy January 21, 2012 at 2:29 am

I’m going to make this in the next week. If you’re going to freeze the leftovers, do you stir in the sour cream/cream cheese when you make it the first time and then freexe it? Or would you freeze it without sourcream/cream cheese and stir it in after you reheat it?

Mommy of Two 24/7 January 22, 2012 at 10:59 pm

Yummy!! I can’t *wait* to try this soup!

Loved this soup. I left out one can of corn and added kidney, pinto, and black beans. Also, I mixed in a can of diced tomatoes with green chilis. I used only 1/4 tsp cumin. Turned out delish!
