How to Make Chicken Taco Soup in a Crock Pot

Aunt Lou here.

When I first made this Chicken Crock Pot Taco Soup, I used chicken breasts. This time I made it with chicken thighs, and it worked really well. It makes the cooking time a little shorter but still tastes great. So, now you can make this delicious soup with whatever cut of meat you like best.

This recipe is so easy to prepare. You just have to dice, dump, stir and cook. At the end, you just have to shred the chicken with a couple forks, and you are done. This is a recipe I wish I had when I was trying to start cooking. It is simple to make while still being delicious. It would have been perfect to give me more confidence in the kitchen. As someone who is comfortable in the kitchen, I also love this recipe for times when I don’t want to spend too much time in the kitchen.

(Psst…if this recipe sounds good to you, but you prefer to use chicken breasts, you can find the original recipe here.)
