Notes
Ingredients:
Black Beans: I like to use seasoned black beans (chili ready) for extra flavor. Plain canned black beans can also be used. I like to add a heaping teaspoon of cumin and chili powder if using plain beans.
Tomatoes: Diced tomatoes with green chiles are essential for this recipe. You can also use Ro-Tel tomatoes, but use 3 cans since they are only 10 ounces/can.
Beer: Use a beer you like because the flavor does shine through. If you avoid alcohol, substitute chicken broth instead.
Corn: Frozen Roasted Corn ( I love Trader Joe's frozen corn) adds the perfect amount of smokiness to this taco soup, but you can also use plain frozen corn, canned corn or fresh corn cut off the cob.
Chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts work best for this recipe. You can use fresh or frozen chicken breasts.
▶︎ Short on time? Skip the slow cooker and add everything (except the raw chicken) to a dutch oven. Stir in rotisserie chicken when almost ready to serve.
▶︎ This soup freezes beautifully so make a double batch and save some for later.
