Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Soup

I made this soup for my family on New Years and it was a big hit! Very easy to put together and make because you do it all in the slow cooker. It's perfect to eat in the winter when it's so cold outside! I got the recipe from AllRecipes.com (here).

SLOW COOKER CHICKEN TACO SOUP
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 (16 ounce) can chili beans
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans
  • 1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle beer (You can substitute chicken broth here)
  • 2 (10 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with green chilies, undrained
  • 1 (1.25 ounce) package taco seasoning
  • 3 whole skinless, boneless chicken breasts
  • shredded Cheddar cheese (optional)
  • sour cream (optional)
  • crushed tortilla chips (optional)
Place the onion, chili beans, black beans, corn, tomato sauce, beer, and diced tomatoes in a slow cooker. Add taco seasoning, and stir to blend. Lay chicken breasts on top of the mixture, pressing down slightly until just covered by the other ingredients. Set slow cooker for low heat, cover, and cook for 5 hours.

Remove chicken breasts from the soup, and allow to cool long enough to be handled. Stir the shredded chicken back into the soup, and continue cooking for 2 hours. Serve topped with shredded Cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and crushed tortilla chips, if desired.

did you use beer or chicken broth? i'm wondering how the taste would differ

I used beer - Budweiser to be exact. You could definitely taste the yeast from the beer in it. So if you don't like that, then use broth.
