Easy Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Soup



Ingredients
  • 1 cup mild salsa
  • 15 ounce can black beans rinsed and drained
  • 15 ounce can pinto beans rinsed and drained
  • 15 ounce can corn drained
  • 14.5 ounce can petite diced tomatoes
  • 3 tablespoons homemade taco seasoning or store-bought
  • 2 cups low sodium chicken broth
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • Optional toppings: cilantro, plain Greek yogurt or sour cream, grated cheese, avocado, green onion, tortilla chips

Instructions
  1. Place salsa, black beans, pinto beans, corn, diced tomatoes, taco seasoning, and chicken broth in slow cooker. Stir to combine. Nestle chicken into the slow cooker so that it�s completely covered by the liquid and other ingredients.
  2. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours. Remove chicken and shred or cut into bite-size pieces. Stir chicken back into the soup.
  3. Serve with toppings as desired.

Notes
  • Freezer to Slow Cooker Directions:(1) Place all ingredients except for broth in a heavy duty zip top plastic bag. Freeze flat for up to 3 months.(2) Thaw the bag (either 24 hours in refrigerator or in a bowl of water).(3) Transfer bag contents to slow cooker, add the broth and cook according to directions above.
  • As written, this soup is medium-spicy. You can use 1 tablespoon less taco seasoning for a mild version.
  • The taco soup can cook for longer than 6 hours if needed. I wouldn't recommend cooking it more than 8 hours (on low).

THE BEST CREPE RECIPE

Ingredients 4 large eggs 2 1/4 cups milk 2 cups all purpose flour 1 tablespoon sugar 1/4 cup melted butter or canola oil good pinch of salt US Customary - Metric Instructions Place all ingredients in order as listed in a blender and blitz until smooth, about 1 minute. Scrape the sides and blend again briefly until batter is lump-free. Refrigerate at least 1 hour, but 2 is ideal. Place nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium to medium-high heat* to preheat. Melt a little butter or oil in the bottom of the pan and swirl to coat. With the hot skillet in one hand and the batter in the other, slowly and steadily pour crepe batter into the center of the pan, tilting the skillet around to spread the batter evenly across the bottom in a very thin layer. It takes some practice but after 3 or 4 times, you can get consistently even crepes. After 10-15 seconds, the crepe batter shouldn't look shiny anymore, it should appear more matte and the bottom should be lightly browned. So,...
