Easy Slow Cooker Taco Soup!
Many of my readers have requested more crockpot recipes. What can I say… I aim to please.
The idea behind the crockpot is to set it and forget it. I wanted the prep to be simple for this one… that is what crockpots are for, to make life EASY!
This hardy soup is just that. Chop an onion, open cans and dump in! I LOVE how easy this was to make. It would be a smart idea to keep the canned ingredients on hand, a couple frozen chicken breast in the freezer, and whip out this recipe when you can’t figure out what to make 🙂
Here are a few notes. To make this VEGETARIAN, just leave out the chicken and add a couple more cans of beans. I think dark kidney beans would be great or even chickpeas. BOOM, vegetarian! If you are worried about the beer, please don’t be. There was no beer taste in the final product. If it’s really an issue, just substitute with chicken or veggie broth, or even water.
And if you swap the beer for broth, this is also a Zero Point Weight Watchers Soup! Score!!
This soup would be awesome to make for a Super Bowl party. Just keep in in the crock on warm, serve in coffee mugs or small bowls… PERFECT!

Before I even saw this post, I made a VERY similar version that is passed around in our family.. hope it’s okay for me to post as an alternative! Delicious for sure! I was just shocked to see this variation featured on your website just after I made my today! 🙂
For ours, the recipe actually calls for ground beef, but since we don’t eat beef, we use ground chicken instead. You cook the 1 lb ground chicken (or beef if you’re into that sort of thing) with an onion and a clove or two of garlic if you want. Once it is all cooked, throw in the crock pot with 12oz bottle of beer (and I say NO subbing allowed on this ingredient.. it really does make the dish and you can’t taste the beer itself at all), 1 1/2 cups water, 2 cans of corn undrained, 1 can pinto beans (rinse/drain), 1 can black beans (rinse/drain), 2 cans of tomatoes with green chilies (we just use mild Rotel tomatoes and chilies and it is perfect on the spice), 1 packet of taco seasoning, and 1 packet of ranch dressing mix. Cover and cook on low until you are ready to eat. Sometimes mine only cooks for 3-4 hours.. other times, I throw it in early and it goes for 7-8. Since the meat is precooked, you could probably just leave it in long enough for the flavors to all come together. We serve ours with shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream and some crushed tortilla chips! Fabulous!
Corey @ Family Fresh Meals says
Sounds delish Sarah! I like the idea of the ranch dressing mix 🙂 YUM! I put the substitution in, because I know a couple people who do not drink any sort of alcohol, but I agree, there is NO beer taste at all. Thanks for sharing!
Barb A. says
What size can of diced tomatoes do you use? My husband and I are looking forward to trying this. We’ve already enjoyed your lasagna soup!
Thanks in advance!
Corey says
Awesome Barb! I am so glad you liked the Lasagna Soup 🙂 You want you use 2 standard 14.5 oz cans, or 1 jumbo 28oz can. I’ll make sure to go back and specify that in the recipe. Hope you love it! XO
Colleen says
Do you have nutritional information for this? My husband is on Weight Watchers and I need to figure out points. Thank you.
Dinah says
Hi,can’t wait to try your Taco soup! It looks so good;)) thank you for sharing!
Corey says
I hope you love it!
Christina says
It does not say what to do with the can of chili. im guessing you put that in like the rest of the ingredients?
Corey says
For the ingredients, you use either pinto or chili beans. You add them in during step one where it says to add the beans. 🙂 I hope that helps Christina.
Christina says
Omg I rerread it lol I understand now thank you 🙂
Tammy says
Hi, This was delicious. I was hoping you could share the nutritional info for this recipe. Thank you!!
E Christiansen says
Hi – wanted to bring this in for the Teacher Souper Bowl Luncheon on Monday. Is it possible to cook on HIGH for a shorter period of time, and if so, what is the appropriate conversion? Thanks in advance 🙂
Corey says
Yep. Cooking on HIGH for 4 hours should do the trick 🙂
Selina says
Question: can the leftover soup be frozen?
Thank you
Amy says
Can you use frozen chicken? Should it cook on high?
Corey says
I have never used frozen before, but I believe some folks have if you read through the comments, they might have a suggestion.
Kathyw says
Yes I froze it.
Maggie says
Hi, I’m excited to try this but I do not have 7 hours to keep it on low for tonight. Could I cooke the chicken before putting it in the crockpot and shorten the crockpot time?
Dan says
You say 2-3 chicken breasts. Do you mean chicken breast halves or full breasts? It’s tough to tell from the pictures and you didn’t give a weight. Thanks for the info.
Corey says
about 1.5 lbs of chicken does the trick!
Dan says
Thanks. 🙂
Katie says
Can you freeze this soup? How about your lasagna soup? Thanks!!! They are both so Good!!
Corey says
You sure can! I do often! I hope you enjoy!
Crystal says
Please help ……1 packet of Taco seasoning …..weight …oz …grms ?
Thank You
Crystal
Mckki says
I made this the other night and I love it you say it zero points some other websites say 1 point every cup was just wondering cause I eat alot
Denise says
This recipe is fantastic! My husband and I both loved it. Thanks so much!
Amy Martin says
How many points is the taco soup
Izzy says
The recipe was good but I didn’t love it. I added some cheese and avocado at the end for a bit more flavor. It is nice for a super quick dinner though. Comes together in seconds.
Karen Harmon says
I fixed the taco soup, but when I put my ingredients in its 7 points. Not 0 points.
I didin’t use beer, I used chicken broth.
Corey says
Which WW plan are you following? On the blue or purple plan, it should be 0 points.
Jace Christensen says
This was so goood! Easy and cheap, perfect for a college kid!
Joanne Joseph says
How can I make this on the stove instead of a crockpot?
