Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup diced onions
  • 1/2 cup diced green bell peppers
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • Vegetable oil
  • 1 pound chicken breasts, boiled and shredded
  • 1 package taco seasoning mix
  • 1 (8-ounce) jar salsa
  • 1 (14-ounce) can kernel corn
  • 1 (14-ounce) can hominy
  • 1 (16-ounce) can ranch style beans
  • 2 (4-ounce) cans tomato paste
  • 2 (14-ounce) cans chicken broth
  • 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese

Directions

Saute onions, green bell peppers, and garlic in a small amount of vegetable oil. Add chicken, taco seasoning mix, salsa, vegetables, beans, tomato paste, and chicken broth. Adjust liquid to your liking. Bring to a slow simmer and simmer for 20 minutes. Place cream cheese in a separate bowl. Using a measuring cup, take some of the hot liquid from the soup and pour over cream cheese to melt and then add back to the soup. Simmer on low for another 10 minutes. Serve with tortilla chips and grated Monterey jack cheese.

Also, great on the second day over rice.

    Delicious Soup!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    Delicious! Very filling and great leftovers. I sprinkled cheese on top, added a dollop of sour cream, and ate it with... tortillas. You can add more spice with spicy taco seasoning and adding jalapenos or green chilies. Very good on a cold day! Read more

    I am a novice in the kitchen, but this recipe was a hit! I used ground beef instead of chicken and it still turned out... delicious. I will definitely be using this recipe again and again. Read more

    heart warming!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    We recently moved to Germany and I made this on a very cold evening and it was absolutely wonderful!!! I only omitted the... hominy. I don't really like soup in general but this had such a wonderful flavor, I ate two helpings and made it two more times in the week after that! I highly, highly recommend this for those cool, autumn evenings. Read more

    Easy and Delicious

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I did not change one thing about this recipe & thought it turned out wonderfully. I used HOT salsa and the whole package of... cream cheese & did not find either overpowering. They balanced one another out nicely. And my boyfriend who hates both vegetables & left overs finished this off the next day!Read more
