In keeping with my blog’s name, today I’m sharing a true Tex-Mex recipe with you. We’ve had some cool, rainy days around here lately so I’ve been in the mood for this chicken taco soup. I’m actually sad that I’ll soon have to retire this meal for the hot summer months, but it’ll be one of the first recipes I reach for again in the fall.
This chicken taco soup is a staple on our menu and it’s one of the easiest meals as well. It seriously takes me less than five minutes to dump everything in the crock-pot and then a couple hours later – ta da! – we have a delicious meal ready to enjoy.
There are a bizillion variations on the internet of this type of soup but here’s how I like to make it:

Just a couple things to note:
- You can of course make this on the stove as well. I just prefer the ease of my crock-pot!
- If you don’t have cooked chicken already just throw in two raw chicken breasts – just be sure to shred the chicken before serving (after cooking for four hours on high.)
- Feel free to use whatever beans are your favorite.
- You can also use a packet of the dry ranch dressing mix instead of 1/2 cup of the regular stuff. I just rarely have the dry mix on hand so the actual dressing is easier.
And that’s it! Try it and I bet you’ll have found your new favorite recipe for cold or rainy days. 😉
Looks delish! It’s a shame American ingredients are so different to English ones, because I can never work out how to do American recipes like this 😔
Oh how sad! 🙁 Now I’m curious how different they are! That’s cool you are from England. I sooo hope I can go there someday!
Oh my goodness that sounds so delicious! Plus I’ve been meaning to try out my new kitchen aid mixer as a chicken shredder – who knew the mixer was so versatile! Definitely adding this to my menu this week!
Yay! Hope you like it! 🙂 That’s a good idea to use your mixer to shred chicken – that would definitely make quick work of it!
Oh my.. This looks absolutely wonderful. Totally on my list of recipes to try and I will let you know how it goes when I do! 🙂
Thanks Danielle 🙂 I hope you like it!
Sounds hearty and delicious! But I have to go and Google ‘Rotel’!
My favorite things: chicken soup and easy to follow recipes. Thanks so much for sharing this! I am so ready for fall and to try all the delicious, cozy foods this season!
Definitely Leighann! I hope you enjoy it! 🙂
