Cheesy Chicken Taco soup is a comforting and filling soup with ground chicken, corn black beans, and plenty of cheese! Best served with tortilla chips!
Again, with the soup?! Â I know… I cannot stop! Â It was even in the high 80’s last week and I was STILL making soup recipes. Â I guess I’m just a gal on a soup making mission.
Next up: Cheesy Chicken Taco Soup!
Oh man. I’ve had this recipe idea in my head for MONTHS. Â I’m not sure where it came from but the thought of a cheesy taco soup seemed like the best idea ever and I couldn’t wait to put my dream to action.
I’m just going to put this out there and say this is absolutely, 100% our new favorite soup. Â We DEVOURED IT!! Â A lot of times we have a hard time finishing leftover soup because soup recipes typically make very large batches and between the two and a half of us, we just lose steam and interest after a couple of day. Â That was definitely not the case with this soup. Â It was gone in two days.
We paired it with diced avocado and crushed up tortilla chips which made it even more taco-like, but you could definitely top yours with any of your favorite taco toppings! Â Anything like sour cream, more shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, cilantro, and even black olives and shredded lettuce.
A few things about this recipe. Â First, I made this soup extra cheesy by making a cheese sauce from scratch and stirring it in the soup. Â While this is insanely delicious and pretty easy to do, if you’re in a time crunch, just use a can of condensed cheese soup. Â Or even a jar of queso! Â It will do the trick and the semi-homemade soup will still be way more delicious and healthy than any takeout or fast food!
Other than that, this recipe is a breeze! Â And I seriously could not believe how delicious it turned out being so simple. Â You just cook the chicken and onion, add some Rotel, black beans corn, and taco seasoning, and then make your cheese sauce. Â Mix it all together and there you go – soup is on!
I also couldn’t believe how much Marc loved this soup. Â While he enjoys pretty much everything I make, he was super excited about this soup. Â He even told his vegetarian sister that she *had* to make it and could make it with tofu instead of chicken. Â Umm…not quite, but his enthusiasm was sweet. Â p.s. to any other vegetarians out there – just add another can or two of beans to the soup! Â You could do all black beans or mix it up with pinto or Northern beans. Â It’s flexible!

Love this recipe! Used ground turkey since we had it on hand. Reheats well, leftovers were great.
Thanks, Emily! So glad you enjoyed it 🙂
