Healthy Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Soup.......

 
Would you believe this soup is only 150 calories a serving.  Well, minus the shredded cheese and corn chips.  I threw everything in the slow cooker before work and when I came home I couldn't wait to have a steamy bowl.  Enjoy, it couldn't get any easier.  Here's the recipe courtesy of  my sister Ann.

  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 16 oz. can chili beans (I used Bush's)
  • 15 oz. can black beans, drained
  • 15 oz. can corn ( I used Trader Joe's frozen roasted corn, 1/2 a bag)
  • 8 oz. tomato sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 15 oz. tomatoes with green chilies
  • 1 pkg. taco seasoning ( I used my homemade no salt taco seasoning)
  • 6 frozen boneless skinless chicken thighs
Put all the above ingredients in the slow cooker. Turn on low and cook for 8 hours.  Pull out chicken thighs, shred, then toss back in.

  1. This comes at a perfect time! Can't heave any heavy pans (or vacuums or laundry, etc....such a pity)....but I can fill up the slow cooker. I will maintain my hero role. Love this. Thanks.

  2. Is it safe to put frozen chicken in a crockpot? I read to never do this... interesting. Sounds delicious though!

    1. I've put frozen chicken in my slow cooker for 26 years and have never had a problem. Use could use fresh if you want. I'm sure it would come out fine.

This is one spicy soup! Love this recipe !Thanks Susan!
