I love using Chunky Salsa in this soup because it has a genuine Southwest flavor that my family just loves. To speed up the cooking process of the Taco Soup, I opted for canned chickenbecause it is cooked, and it’s low in fat.
Finally, I added condensed tomato soup to this recipe because it’s full of mouthwatering flavors that my family can’t get enough of!
This 20 Minute Chicken Taco Soup is so easy to make, let me show you how!
How To Make Crock-Pot Chicken Taco Soup:
You can make this recipe in your slow cooker, here’s how: Add all ingredients (minus the oil and garnishes) into your slow cooker. Cook on LOW for 6 hours or HIGH for 3 hours.
Cook’s Note – Taco Soup:
- To make a complete meal, I like serving this taco soup with either my Simple Sour Cream Cornbread or Cheesy Green Chile Cornbread recipes.
- This recipe is very versatile. Instead of canned chicken, you can use shredded chicken, rotisserie chicken, or leave the chicken out altogether!
- Feel free to use any type of salsa that you like. I usually use Pace salsa.
- You can use any kind of canned beans in this recipe. I’ve also used pinto beans, garbanzo beans, and kidney beans, too.
- You can also use canned diced tomatoes instead of condensed tomato soup.
Can you freeze taco soup?
You bet! What’s great about this recipe is that you have your choice of freezing this soup before or after cooking it. You can freeze the soup in either air-tight freezer-safe containers or Ziploc freezer bags.

This serves 4-6. 4 if this is the only thing on the menu, and 6 if you’re serving it with a salad and/or cornbread.
