Chicken Taco Soup

I love taco soup!  I am always trying new taco soup recipes or combining several to make it fit with the ingredients that I have on hand.  Today I had frozen chicken to use and no time to thaw hamburger, so it is chicken taco soup tonight!  I also used a new recipe that was for something else, but I made it work with the tomatoes I had and the chicken.  Looks yummy and I sure hope it tastes yummy!

3 -large boneless, skinless chicken breasts--mine were frozen
2- 15 oz cans light red kidney beans-undrained
1- 14oz can diced tomatoes
1-10oz can tomatoes with chilies-I used HT brand mild, but it is like Rotel
1-14oz can tomato sauce
1-15oz can of corn
1-pkg ranch dip
1-pkg taco seasoning

I put my chicken in the crockpot then dumped all other ingredients in and then stirred.  Covered and cook on low 7 hours.

I usually serve mine with corn chips or tortillas, sour cream, and cheese.  Tonight I feel like cornbread, so I may do that with or instead of the chips.

The meal was a huge success! I was shocked since no one likes ranch and I was worried it might have a ranch flavor, but it didn't.  It did have a sweeter taste.  My kids ate so much!!  They love kidney beans!

Taco Soup

This is a perfect meal for the rainy, cold day we are having!  My whole family loves it and best of all it is easy and ready fast if you need it to be. I usually combine several recipes, because I never have all the ingredients of one recipe.  My husband actually likes it better when I make something up:)

1 lb Ground hamburger, browned
15 oz can Pinto Beans, drained
15 oz can Light Kidney Beans, drained
15 oz can Corn, drained
14 oz can Diced Tomatoes, drained
10 oz can of Tomato soup or you can use Tomato sauce
1 pkg Taco seasoning

Ground your hamburger and drain the grease.  Combine all other ingredients in slow cooker.  Once hamburger is browned add it to the slow cooker.  Cook on low 4-5 hours.

We eat ours with sour cream, tortilla or corn chips, flour tortillas (the kids like to eat is like burritos), and cheese.  I have some avocados that I have going to serve with it tonight.  Yummy!
