Equipment

  • Slow Cooker
  • 2 forks to shred
  • Ladel

Ingredients

  • 1 pound chicken breasts boneless, skinless
  • 15 ounces black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup frozen corn kernels
  • 10 ounces Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup onion chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 ounces cream cheese softened
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro Chopped

Instructions

  • Pour the chicken broth over the ingredients, stir to combine, and cover.
  • Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  • Remove the chicken breasts, shred with two forks, and return to the slow cooker.
  • Stir in the cream cheese and heavy cream until fully melted and combined.
  • Cook for an additional 15-20 minutes to heat through.
  • Serve with tortilla strips and optional toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, and avocado.

Notes

  • Spray the bottom of the slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray to ensure easy cleanup.
  • If you prefer crunchy tortilla chips, toast strips of corn tortillas in the air fryer until golden. Sprinkle over the soup before serving.
  • Don't skip on the toppings! Fresh avocado, shredded cheese, and diced tomatoes are all great additions to this soup. Be creative and add your favorite taco toppings for a personalized touch.
  • For a vegetarian option, swap out the chicken broth for vegetable broth and omit the shredded chicken. Add extra vegetables like corn or beans for added protein and texture.
