What is better than tender juicy chicken, black beans and corn with a zesty taco seasoned broth??? A meal that is made in the crock pot! Crock Pot Chicken Taco Soup will not only have your house smelling amazing but it is hearty and satisfying and perfect meal for a cold busy day!
This taco soup recipe is delicious! Add some of the baked wonton curls at the end for some extra spicy crunch! Have you ever used wonton wrappers before? They are amazing! I use them for ravioli (recipe coming soon!) and I used them for my Sausage and Cheese Wonton Cups and I used them in this recipe for the crispy bite that completes this soup!
Seriously though….my kids ate this up like it was candy! I added a dollop of light sour cream and they were both like flies to honey! :) The black beans and chicken give this some substance and the corn gives it a bit of sweet edge. The tomatoes and the broth are the perfect “soup” base for this dish! It’s seasoned to perfection with packets of taco seasoning! No measuring, no guessing, just open packets and dump in! That’s my kind of meal!
Did I mention that this taco soup recipe was super simple??? That you just dump the ingredients into a Crock Pot, turn it on and then take credit for your house smelling amazing and your family being totally stoked about dinner?? I didn’t’?? Well here is the recipe, see for yourself!

Che,
This sounds awesome. The Duggar family also has a taco soup recipe that is fabulous and freezes beautifully. Try it sometime. I highly recommend!
I love the idea of the wonton curls. You are a genius.

This was good although a lot of the liquid cooked out. Maybe my crock pot runs hot as we were within the cooking times. I added a bunch of greens to my bowl for a taco salad/burrito bowl since it was not a soup anymore. I loved it. None of us were big on the wonton curls. They weren’t burned but may have been a tad over cooked as they were a little too crunchy/hard so watch those wonton curls, people!!
