PrintThis hearty Chicken Taco Soup combines tender shredded chicken, beans, corn, tomatoes, and taco spices in a flavorful, one-pot meal — ready in under an hour.
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
1 tbsp olive oil
1 yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (15 oz) crushed tomatoes
1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chiles
1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup corn (frozen or canned, drained)
4 cups chicken broth
2 tbsp taco seasoning
1 tbsp lime juice
Salt and pepper, to taste
In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium. Sauté onion for 3–4 minutes, then add garlic.
Stir in crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, black beans, corn, and chicken broth.
Add chicken breasts and taco seasoning. Bring to a low boil.
Cover and simmer for 20–25 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
Remove chicken, shred with forks, and return to the soup.
Stir in lime juice and adjust seasoning to taste.
Serve with toppings like avocado, cheese, and tortilla strips.
For a creamy soup, stir in ½ cup cream cheese at the end.
Freeze leftovers in individual portions for up to 3 months.
Substitute chicken thighs or rotisserie chicken if desired.
