CREAMY CHICKEN TACO SOUP



Creamy Chicken Taco Soup image

This is a creamy version of taco soup. Using cheap bone in chicken thighs and a crock pot make this a cheap and easy way to feed your family. I've put in the rice as optional. I always have pre-cooked rice in the freezer and it made a great addition, but this soup is also good on its own. The spice is on the mild side for my family. If you like hot, use hot taco seasoning or add hot sauce at the table. Add a salad and a nice piece of cornbread and dinner is served.

Time 8h20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 lbs chicken thighs, bone-in
14 ounces chicken broth, canned (or homemade)
10 ounces beer
2 stalks celery, sliced
1 onion, medium, diced
15 ounces black beans, canned, drained and rinsed
10 ounces Rotel Tomatoes, with chilies
15 ounces diced tomatoes, canned
1 ounce taco seasoning mix, 1 pkg
8 ounces fat free cream cheese, cubed
3 cups brown rice, cooked (optional)
tortilla chips, crushed (optional)
cheddar cheese (optional)

Steps:

  • Remove skin and visible fat from chicken thighs. Place in crock pot with broth, beer, celery and onion.

Add diced chicken back to broth in crock-pot. This step can be done ahead of time and refrigerated overnight. Then in the morning, skim off fat collected on top and allow crock to sit for 30 mins at room temp before turning on and adding other ingredients.

  • 30 mins before serving add cream cheese to crock-pot and put on high. Stir well before serving, breaking up large pieces with back of spoon. If you are adding rice, do so now and allow to heat thru for a few minutes.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before starting, measure and prep your ingredients to ensure a smooth cooking process. This recipe is quick and easy, so having everything ready beforehand will make it even more efficient.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh ingredients always yield the best flavor. If possible, use fresh ground beef, chopped tomatoes, and crisp vegetables for optimal taste.
  • Brown the Beef Thoroughly: Browning the beef adds depth of flavor to the soup. Make sure to cook it over medium-high heat until it's no longer pink and has crispy edges.
  • Use a High-Quality Broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a high-quality one. Look for a low-sodium broth or make your own using bones, vegetables, and herbs.
  • Don't Overcook the Vegetables: Overcooked vegetables can become mushy and lose their flavor. Add them to the soup towards the end of the cooking time to ensure they retain their texture and nutrients.
  • Season to Taste: Always taste the soup and adjust the seasonings accordingly. Add more salt, pepper, or chili powder if desired.
  • Garnish for Presentation: Before serving, add a dollop of sour cream, shredded cheese, chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of lime to each bowl for an attractive presentation and extra flavor.
