One of my new favorite recipes!! You may have tried my original Taco Soup recipe, but this Chicken Taco Soup recipe is even better! My brother agrees, & Taco Soup has been one of his favorite meals since my mom used to make it for us growing up. Try out this new take on Taco Soup below:
Ingredients
2 lbs. chicken - about 4 thighs
4 cups water
20 oz. can crushed fire roasted tomatoes
(2) 4 oz. cans green chilies
15 oz. can chili beans
15 oz. can kidney beans
1 chopped sweet yellow onion
6 chopped cloves garlic
(1) 1.5 oz. carnitas seasoning packet - I like Siete
(1) 1.5 oz. taco seasoning packet - I like Siete or Simply Organics
top with avocado & cilantro
optional: tortilla or plantain chips
The Process
in a big stock pot, boil chicken in 4 cups water for 20-25 minutes
remove the chicken from the pot (leave juices) & shred
once the chicken is shredded, return it to the pot
add the following ingredients in with your shredded chicken (+ juices): fire roasted tomatoes, green chilies, chili beans, kidney beans, onion, & garlic
stir everything together over medium heat
once the ingredients are mixed together, stir in your seasoning packets
cook everything together on medium heat for about 25-30 minutes
after 25-30 minutes, turn the heat to low, cover your pot & let simmer for 2 hours - stir occasionally
once the 2 hours are up, serve with fresh avocado & cilantro! Tortilla or plantain chips make a great addition as well!
