Description

This Dump & Go Chicken Taco Soup is the ultimate easy weeknight meal! With just a few pantry staples, you’ll have a hearty, flavorful soup ready in no time. Perfect for busy nights, meal prep, or feeding a crowd.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans (10 oz each) cooked shredded chicken (or 2 cups rotisserie chicken)
  • 1 can (15 oz) corn, undrained
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies (like Rotel)
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix (optional, adds creaminess & tang)
  • 2 cups chicken broth (or water for a thicker consistency)
  • Optional toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, crushed tortilla chips, avocado, jalapeños, green onions, lime wedges

Instructions

  1. In a large soup pot (or slow cooker), add chicken, corn, black beans, tomatoes, taco seasoning, ranch mix, and broth.
  2. Stir everything together. Simmer on the stovetop for 20–25 minutes, or in a slow cooker on LOW for 4–6 hours / HIGH for 2–3 hours.
  3. Taste and adjust consistency: add more broth for a thinner soup, or simmer longer to thicken.
  4. Ladle into bowls and top with your favorite taco toppings.

Notes

  • Swap canned chicken for rotisserie or even ground beef/turkey.
  • Frozen corn works just as well as canned.
  • For extra creaminess, stir in 4 oz cream cheese before serving.
  • This soup freezes great—perfect for meal prep!
