Description
Creamy Chicken Taco Soup is a one-pot comfort dish packed with Tex-Mex flavor, tender shredded chicken, beans, corn, and creamy richness from cream cheese and heavy cream. It’s cozy, filling, and easy to customize with your favorite toppings.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small yellow onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
10 oz can diced tomatoes with green chilies
15 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
15 oz can corn, drained
1 packet taco seasoning
3 cups chicken broth
3 cups cooked shredded chicken
8 oz block cream cheese, softened
0.5 cup heavy cream
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional toppings: shredded cheese, tortilla chips, avocado, cilantro, sour cream
Instructions
1. In a large pot over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté diced onion until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
2. Stir in diced tomatoes, black beans, corn, and taco seasoning. Mix well.
3. Add chicken broth and shredded chicken. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
4. Lower the heat and stir in cream cheese until melted. Add heavy cream and stir until fully combined.
5. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Simmer for 5 more minutes and serve hot with toppings.
Notes
Let the cream cheese fully melt before adding heavy cream to avoid clumps.
For more spice, add diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce.
Great for meal prep—flavors deepen after a day in the fridge.
