Chicken Taco Soup. Yumm.

This week for nutrition we made chicken taco soup. It's amazing!


All you need is a crockpot, 2 (15 ounce) cans of black beans, 2 pounds of boneless skinless chicken breasts and thighs, 1 can of chunky salsa (mild, medium, or hot), and 1 tablespoon of taco seasoning. (If you like more flavor, use 2 tablespoons.







This really is an amazing recipe. And really simple too. 

First take the beans and poor them on the bottom of the crockpot. This allows there to be moisture throughout the soup.
Then take the chicken and lay them over the beans (be sure not to put the chicken on the very top, this will dry it out.)
Add the other can of beans.
Then the seasonings and the entire jar or salsa.
Mix together making sure all the seasoning is evenly spread throughout the mixture.






Place lid on crockpot and you're all ready.
Cook on high for 4 hours, or on low for 8 hours.


Really simple, really fast, really healthy, really delicious.


Option number 1: you can add corn, chopped potatoes, sour cream, cheese, cilantro.
Option number 2: you can strain the beans and chicken from the soup and serve over tortilla chips, or add rice to make it more of a stew.
