Chicken Taco Soup Recipe. Shredded chicken, beans, and corn simmered in a tomato soup seasoned with taco seasoning.
This variation of Taco soup adds shredded chicken instead of ground beef. The soup simmers blending flavors of chicken, chili beans, corn, and taco seasoning in a tomato chicken-based soup. Top with sour cream, cheese, and cilantro, and dive in with your spoon and tortilla chips for a little crunch.
Ingredients for Chicken Taco Soup
- Onion
- Cooked shredded chicken. (You can use rotisserie chicken)
- Beans – I use Bush’s Chili Beans. I use a combination of pinto beans and kidney beans. For the black beans, I use regular canned black beans with no chili flavor. I make sure to rinse them really good too!
- Whole Kernel Corn
- Tomato Sauce
- Diced Tomatoes with Diced Chilis – I use Ro-Tel.
- Taco Seasoning
- Chicken Broth

Add the beans, diced tomatoes, corn, tomato sauce, chicken, and taco seasoning. Stir to combine. Stir in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
