Slow Cooker Creamy Chicken Taco Soup

I wish you had a rating higher then Five stars. This recipe is excellent! I did add black beans and kidney beans because my daughter said otherwise it wasn’t taco soup. I added more taco seasoning, and I used cream cheese instead of what they recommended. It’s what I had, and the stores are pretty bare. I highly recommend this recipe

This recipe was excellent. I didn’t change a thing. My wife has 0 tolerance for spiciness. She took one bite and declared it was too spicy for her. I, on the other hand, thought it had the right level of bite to it. I have to eat the whole batch myself...tough job but someone has to do it.

I made this tonight but in my instant pot. Sauteed the onion and green pepper, then added all the other ingredients except the cheese, and I didn't bother coating the chicken - just dumped in the spices. Set to 15 minutes with a 10 minute natural release then quick release remaining pressure. I changed to vegetable stock because it's what I have that is gluten free for the celiac in the family, and added a can of black beans. I had about double the chicken and it made 8 servings. Like others I used cream cheese, too. It was a total hit and most of us had seconds, and I was asked to make it again.

it was awesome and I didn't change a thing !

This was really good. I used costco's shredded rotisserie chicken breasts and regular cream cheese. We added crispy tortilla strips to the top when we served it . They were a great addition. I cooked it on the stovetop since the chicken was already cooked. Family loved it and there was less than a 1/2 cup left. I've been told to save this one!

Delicious - only additions were a can of drained black beans and a cup of frozen corn. Also, halved the cream cheese. Even better the second day!

I followed the recipe as is and my family loved it. My opinion is to start with a recipe like this and not change it until you’ve tried it first, to get the original. Then maybe tweak to a personal taste. I see others adding beans, garlic, cream cheese not Neufchâtel, etc. I think the garlic might change it too much, but corn or beans might work. I wasn’t sure which green peppers to get as they’re labeled hot or nothing. I went with the not hot and it was plenty spicy enough. Our crock pot isn’t quite large enough (4quart?) for it- had to ladle out a little by time cheese got added, so I think slow cooking on stove would work.

I made it with rotisserie chicken in a pot on the stove, but it was still amazing. I am going to try it in the slow cooker next time.

Delicious! Just the way I like it, quick and easy. Although, I didn't use a crockpot because I used a rotissary chicken and made it o n the stove top. I is so good.....

Was easy to make. I used left over roasted chicken so I only simmer it about 30 minutes.. Also cooked it in my cast Dutch oven. Loved it and wii definitely make this again and often.

It was delicious. I used cream cheese instead of the Neufchâtel cheese.

I thought this soup was really flavorful. I used rotisserie chicken, added more chicken broth, white beans and corn. Put some crushed tortilla chips on top with a dollop of sour cream, squeeze of lime & a few sprinkles of hot sauce. Yum!

Very good. Even better the next day. I did add a cup of grated sharp cheddar cheese to it at the end. More for color than anything else.

No changes, so good that my husband said to not share the leftovers, as he wanted them, now that is good. Oh, i did cook on high in crock pot, not low.

I made this on the stovetop as I was using precooked chicken (leftovers from a roast chicken). I added the seasoning directly into the soup pot since I didn't need to coat uncooked chicken. I used cream cheese since that is what I was able to find in the store, and I added a can of black beans (drained and rinsed) since we like them. I will probably also add frozen corn in the future. I like to do the majority of my cooking over the weekend so I put together everything up to adding the cream cheese ahead of time. When it was time to prepare the week-day dinner, I pulled the soup pan out of the refrigerator, heated up the soup, and then added in the softened cream cheese and stirred until melted.

This soup received a two thumbs up in our household. My husband said it was very good several times and suggested I make it for our next “Souper Saturday” event. I made it exactly as written. It was easy, quick and delicious.

Was very good of course I added lots of garlic, Serrano powder, crushed red and used my hot hatch Chiles.

Very good with a few adjustments. No salt added, probably tripled the taco seasoning, used cream cheese and added jalapenos. next time will use less chicken broth.

This was a great soup. I too added the black beans and corn used chicken tenders cut in small pieces rather than shredding chicken. Just easier for me. I used cream cheese since I had it and topped with tortilla strips and crispy jalapeños ( a salad topper) for those who like a little spice. Will definitely make this again.

Good! I used twice the chicken since I had it thawed. Added twice the spices since I had more chicken. I cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces before adding to the cooker so there was no need to shred it. Will be making this again!

I’m doing it in the instapot. I will add the cream cheese after the cooking process. I tasted before pressurizing it and it had a lovely taste. I made adjustments to use what I had on hand. Like mushrooms. I diced them up super small as they provide anti-oxidants and also anti-viral and Small diced carrots. And for extra fun, I’m adding ramen noodles just because....but the base flavors are spot on!

So easy and so delicious! I added a packet of low Sodium Taco seasonings to the actual soup and it helped with flavor

Delicious!

Absolutely delicious! I call it White Chicken Chili, however. Used cream cheese and cream of chicken soup (hate mushrooms) instead. Would’ve used cream of bacon instead because BACON makes everything even better but the store was out of it. Do yourself a favor and add a can of drained corn. This is delicious just as it’s written, I’m sure. These are the subs I made however and it was BOMB!

Delicious!

Seriously the best taco soup ever & easy to make. Chicken so tender. I only used 4 oz cream cheese. Delish.

I used cream cheese. It was great!

Delicious and very easy. I’ll make this again.

Fabulous!!! Easy and delicious. Will make again for sure

Quick and tasty!

This soup was delicious, my son and husband both loved it too. I used cream of chicken soup instead of cream of mushroom and I used a yellow pepper instead of a green one. Everything else was per the recipe. I will definitely make this again. Next time I might add some frozen corn. It’s a great winter soup recipe.

Mine came out too rich-flavored for my wife's or my tastes. I think that's mainly because of how much Neufchatel cheese it calls for -- if I make it again, I'll reduce the cheese by half, and probably reduce the cream of mushroom soup by half, as well, and add another cup of chicken broth. Also, I added 15 oz cans each of black beans and corn to mine, which helped with texture and appearance.

Made just like the recipe. Subbed cream cheese in. Added black beans in as well. Very tasty! Will be making again!

So good! Definitely a keeper. Nice tortilla chicken soup with out an overpowering flavor of cheese.

This is on the spicy side, but we loved it. This will definitely become a favorite recipe for us. I topped with avocado slices. Easy to prepare. I have made it with shredded and small chicken bites and both work well.

Really liked it. The only change I made was I cut my chicken up at the start and put it in at the beginning. Turned out great.EASY

I will make it again. The only change I made was using. Red bell pepper as opposed to green bell pepper.

Excellent! I used cream cheese, added a can of black beans and made in a pressure cooker for a fast meal. Will be a regular on our menu!

It was really salty but still very good. I served it over tortilla chips(as we do our hamburger taco soup), which probably added to the saltiness. We topped with cheddar cheese and sour cream. Next time we will serve over rice. Will definitely make again but I will add some black olives.

Made for first time. Fast and easy. Hadn't tried the Neufchatel cheese before. Loved it. I added crushed tortilla chips before serving. It was a hit!

This was a perfect Cinco de Mayo dinner alternative!

I didn’t expect this to turn out as well as it did. A prime example of a recipe being more than the sum of its parts. I used fresh chilis because I didn’t have canned chilies, but other than that I didn’t change a thing.

I ran out of green chilies and only had regular diced tomato in the pantry, so I added half teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes. Loved it. Easiest soup ever.

Easy to make love the flavor

I made as directed. Except I used cream cheese because that is what I had on hand. OMG! Yummy!

This was amazing! I made a few modifications and used my Instapot. I used a rotisserie chicken from Sam’s Club. I used an entire packet of low sodium taco seasoning. I sautéed? my onions and bell pepper in the Instapot. I also added half a bag of shredded sharp cheese. I put all Ingredients in the Insta pot and set it? on Soup for 15 min with a natural release. Much better the next day after it’s sat! I plan to make this again!

I did cook in crockpot longer. It was wonderful!!!!!

I added black beans for protein. It was delicious !

This recipe is a keeper. Based on other comments, I substituted Cream Cheese for Neufchatel Cheese. I also added a can of corn (drained) and a can of seasoned black beans (rinsed and drained). I have an older crock pot and it did take longer to get the chicken done. I garnished with sliced avocado and served with beef chalupas. My soup was thick and hardy, and delicious.

Very good exactly as written! I added more of the seasonings and broth because I had more chicken. I also added a can of rinsed black beans. Such a good flavor!!!!

I added a cubed zucchini, since I had extra I wanted to use up; otherwise everything was the same. It was delicious, and everyone loved it. I served it with tortilla chips on top.

This was fantastic!!! very satisfying!!! I added a can of black beans, and topped with cheese and fritos. Next time I might up the broth and add rice to the recipe as well. Definitely a keeper!!!

Absolutely incredible! It instantly became my husband and my favorite soup. Although it's a little spicy for the kids, so sometime I don't use so much green chilies, but I always double the recipe.

This soup was delicious, I just made it with left over roasted chicken, threw all ingredients into my slow cooker and let it heat up! The only change I made was I added a can of 3 bean mix. (Black, Pinto and kidney). So good make it!

Delicious. Rich. Easy to make. And a winner with my growing boys! Definitely a keeper.

We are vegetarian so I used Morning Star crumbles and it was delicious. My kids beg me to make this!!!

very tasty. will be making this again for sure

Absolutely delicious! I added a can of black beans. Turned out beautifully. Will definitely make it again!

I didn't have cream of mushroom soup but had some mushrooms so I added them to the mix. I worried about how creamy it would be as I didn't have a full package of the cream cheese, but it was still awesome. Very filling. I will definitely make this again.

I made it exactly the way he said to and my family loved it we ate every bit of it and I will make it again

This was excellent! I put everything into a pressure cooker minus the cheese and simmered the cheese in afterwards. Nice comfort meal!

My family gobbled this all up! Yes I made some changes, but used this as the flavor base, and it was fantastic!

My new favorite soup! The second time I made this I used a jar of salsa instead of the tomatoes and green peppers. I also added black beans and corn. Serve it with tortilla chips and yum!

This is delicious!!! I added a can of drained pinto beans to the crock pot and chopped avocados to the serving bowls. Highly recommend and so easy! I will add spinach next time for more veggies.

Easy and awesome. I crunch tortilla chips in when serving. So good!

This was really good! I sauteed the pepper (used a red pepper} and onions before I put them in the crock pot just to soften them up and I also added two cans of chicken broth which was probably a little more than was called for. This will definitely be added to the dinner rotation!

So delicious and easy to make! Yummy!

Made the recipe as written but used my dutch oven instead of the slow cooker. Husband and I both loved it!

The melding of the flavors of the peppers, onions, chiles and chicken make this a great soup. I used the high setting on the crock pot and was able to have it ready in 1-1/2 hours.

It’s definitely a keeper. We had it as soup, but it could also be used as a wonderful sauce over pasta.

Delicious! I chose not to use the slow cooker. I used my cast iron skillet to grill the seasoned chicken, shred it, then toss it in the juices in the iron skillet before adding to the soup. I chopped a bell pepper, 1 jalepeno, and an onion and simmered them in oil in a stock pot until tender before adding the chicken stock. Also just boiled 3 Roma tomatos and peeled them, juiced them, chopped them up and added with the chicken stock. I think the sautéed veggies and cast iron add an extra layer of flavor. Also queso fresco as a topping and corn tortillas on the side paired excellent. Thinking of adding corn to the sautéed veggies next time, thanks for the recipe! Hubby and I gobbled it up!

My family loves this soup’

Very delicious! Very easy! I wanted a little more fillers to make a hearty soup and added corn and black beans. But it is delicious the way it is. This is a make again soup!

Followed recipe verbatim. Love it!

Definitely a keeper! I was craving a creamy soup and this really hit the spot. Two minor changes: I used mushroom soup with garlic because that's all my grocery store had, and salsa instead of tomatoes with chiles.

it was great. i had to substitute picante sauce for the taco mix as my mix was eaten by the dog when i dropped it. even with the picante is was really great and i served it over noodles. Hubby raved over it, so it will be part of the monthly menu.

I could eat this every day. It’s so good. Only change I made was to use cream cheese and two taco seasoning packets. Sprinkled some tricolor tortilla strips on top and it was absolutely delicious. It took longer than 2-3 hours for chicken to cook but my crockpot might be on it’s last leg.

Oh my gosh, this is a keeper!!! Made it exactly as written except used half of the cream cheese. My husband loved it!

I’m not the greatest cook, but this recipe made me look like a great cook! Easy and delicious! Even my finicky husband enjoyed it.

I used chipotle rotel and added black beans

Made ie exactly as the recipe and it tasted delicious except for the cream cheese did not melt like it was supposed to and enhance the flavor and texture. I tried to smash it up but then it just broke into little pieces (chunks) and looked like cheese curds. Very unappetizing look to it. Wonder what I did wrong? I actually used full fat cream cheese as others have stated they used.

The soup was delicious but I chose to do it on my stove

I love this recipe! I have prepared slow cooker chicken taco recipes before, but this was different. It’s now my FAVORITE! I love the added ingredient CREAM OF MUSHROOM soup, which I normally do not use. This dish was incredibly flavorful. When adding the two diced up Jalapeño chili peppers, I made sure I added ALL of the Jalapeño seeds as well, which made it extra hot/spicy. Yummy!!

Absolutely delicious! A new family favorite

This is such an awesome recipe. Delicious and easy to make. I can"t handle the heat so omitted the chili peppers. I did however use the can of tomatoes with chilies I did add fresh cilantro. Husband loved it. He had 3 bowls!!!

My bf and I really liked it. He doesn’t like onion and I don’t like peppers, so I omitted those and added corn. Used a half block of cream cheese instead of nuefchatel and about an extra half cup of broth. Topped with cheese, avo and sour cream. Will make again!

This was excellent! I just put all the spices into the crockpot instead of dipping the chicken in it and I’ll used less of each spice next time. I used hot Rotel tomatoes, which was very hot so I garnished my bowl with some sour cream. It was a hit, and we’ll have it again, maybe with ground beef next

Perfect but added a can of sweet corn

Followed recipe exactly as written in order to properly review it. Boyfriend and I loved it! Definitely agree with reviewers that black beans added the second time made it 5 stars.

This is really good. I had to substitute a couple of items because I didn't have the exact ingredients. I used canned chicken breast (drained). Used curry powder instead of cumin. Added canned mushrooms (drained). Added 1/4 teas. of sriracha sauce. Used cream cheese. All other ingredients were as stated in recipe. I will make this again.

Only change I would make us to sauté the onions before adding ! Delicious and spicy!!

Will be making this again. I used can of regular diced tomatoes and added 1/2 jalapeno diced. I used 3 large chicken breasts which was likely over 2lbs total. I made extra of the rub and used avocado oil. Topped with fresh chopped cilantro. Delicious!

Great base recipe. We cooked it on the stovetop. We added corn and black beans. Also used cream of celery instead of mushroom. Smoked paprika, and LOTS of garlic. Really delicious!

Made as per recipe. Was a little thinner than I had hoped for and the flavor was a little bland. Not horrible, but wouldn't make again.

Great recipe!! So easy! Very flavorful - the whole family loved it! I didn’t coat the chicken with oil and just added all of the seasonings to the crock pot. I added a can of corn and black beans and used cream cheese. I didn’t add the chiles because I don’t like spicy food. This recipe is a keeper!!

The only change I made was adding a can of black beans. This was incredibly good! And for those who thought it was too spicy...did you add the entire amount of cream cheese? We love spicy but did not think this was overly spicy at all. Used the Original Rotel but you could easily substitute the Mild version. Will definitely make this again and again!

This IS a terrific recipe! I opted to add two boneless chicken thighs as well as the breasts along with one small can of mild green enchilada sauce, and a generous amount of minced garlic! It came out a wee bit more like a stew, which was just fine and it did NOT last long! Made it again two days later left out the thighs and it was more "soup-like" had the same great flavor! This is a winner for sure in my house! ENJOY
