If there’s one thing I don’t like, it’s mushy food.
And sad to say it, but sometimes that’s what happens after you cook something in a slow cooker all day.
But not this recipe. Oh no. This recipe for Chicken Taco Soup is the perfect slow cook option that’s not at all mushy. This Tex Mex meal doesn’t have any weird ingredients in it, so you can most likely cook this up any time!
What Kind of Chicken Should I Use?
I used raw chicken tenderloins, but you could also use raw chicken breasts, rotisserie chicken, or even canned chicken!
What Can I Use if I Don’t Have Taco Seasoning?
Here’s an easy blend to make your own taco seasoning:
- 1 tablespoon chili powder

- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
