Here are the 5 ingredients you will need:
I just use frozen chicken breast from the bag, but you could also use fresh chicken, whichever you prefer.
- Spray the crock pot with cooking spray so it will not stick, and it will be easier to clean. You may also use a slow cooker liner as well.
- Place the chicken in the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Sprinkle the taco seasoning on top of the chicken.
- Open the salsa and pour on top of the chicken and seasoning. ( I used homemade salsa from my dad’s garden!)
- Pour in the whole container of chicken both. ( I use lower sodium, you may use what you like)
- Drain the beans, and then pour on top of everything.
- Set the slow cooker on about 6 hours on high. ( This will depend on your slow cooker, if your cooker seems to burn easily, set it for 8-10 hours on low)
- 30 minutes before you want to eat, remove the chicken breasts and shred the chicken and place back into the slow cooker.
- Let it cook for 30 more minutes.
- Now it’s time to eat!
Some people like corn in this soup, you can add the corn half way through.
We top ours with shredded Mexican blend cheese. You may also add avocado.
This recipe is very budget friendly and yields a large amount for left overs!
Now all you have to do is enjoy!

Slow Cooker recipes are the best, especially if it’s a soup. It looks so satisfying and comforting! Can’t wait to try it out.
Arizona rarely has dark skies but today it does and I am so making this soup for dinner tonight! Perfect dinner during rainy weather.
This sounds so good, and looks good too! It also looks really easy.

This looks super easy and yummy. I am putting it on the menu this week
Visiting from Share it Sunday.
I want to try this soup & was trying to find out the nutrition information. Can you help me please? Thanks
The only thing I can tell you would to maybe go online and search the brand name of ingredients I used. They are pretty general ingredients, so I would think you could find something comparable. I am no help with this, sorry. It is really good though, especially if you add a block of cream cheese to it.
Alana, when and how much cream cheese do you add? I love creamy soups!
I like to add cream cheese about an hour before I serve it, although I have put it in with everything at the beginning and it was just fine.I use a whole block, but I love cream cheese though! Thank you for stopping by!
Made this soup today…..it was wonderful. I added the corn and topped it with cheese and tortilla strips .
Dianne I am so glad you liked it! It really is our favorite in my home. I am hoping to post more yummy recipes like this soon, so please check back.
This is cooking away in my slow cooker as I’m typing. We didn’t have any salsa on hand, but I had a can of Rotel, so I used that instead. I’m sure it will be delicious!
I’m making this tomorrow. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Thank you for stopping by.
I will be using homemade salsa…how much do i put in?
I use one whole jar. Hope you enjoy it!
I got that part..how big is the jar? Lol. Pint, quart?
Pint.
Very tasty and easy, and my husband loves it! Winner all around! I used only about 75% of the chicken broth to make it feel thicker and added the corn. This will be happening a lot this winter
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! It is our favorite. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
So excited to try this today! I’d like to add corn, when should I throw that in?
Thank you for posting this. Found you on Pinterest
You can throw in frozen corn when you add everything, or canned corn a few hours before you’re ready to eat.:) Thank you for trying this, let me know how you like it. I also have a few recipes like this one in my new post 3 recipes for entertaining you may like too: http://www.ihaveafutureandahope.com/2015/08/3-easy-slow-cooker-recipes-for-entertaining/
Thank you! It was absolutely fantastic. We topped it with cheese and crumbled up some tortilla chips…so good. I’m a seriously picky eater and I loved it. Thank you so much!!
Thank you! I’m glad you liked it.
We have picky eaters too and they eat this every time I make it.
Trying this today! I’m using a jar of salsa verde so I’m hoping it’s yummy! Will let you know how it is later! Thanks for sharing your recipe!
I hope you enjoy it! Thanks for stopping by.
Question. I notice the recipe doesn’t call for cream cheese but read ut in one of comments? So do I use cream cheese or no? 😁
That is entirely up to you. The cream cheese makes it a creamier soup and gives it a richer taste. I like it either way, but I mostly make it without to save on calories. Thank you for stopping by!!!
Ok. Thank you. My birthday is Sunday and my daughters wanted to make me dinner. I chose this recipe. 😁 Can’t wait to try it.
Happy Birthday then!!!I hope you have a blessed day with really yummy soup.
