Less cream cheese next time; expected more of a soup than a stew. But excellent flavor and hearty taste.

I made this in the crockpot. The night before I put 1 can of chicken broth into crockpot with peppers, onions, taco mix and cubed raw chicken. Cook on low overnight. In the am I added the rest of the ingredients (minus the cream cheese. There was enough juice from the chicken that I only used the one can of broth. Mix everything together well andcontinue cooking on low for 2 to 3 hours. At this point put the cream cheese into a bowl, add soup broth and stir until the cheese is blended and there are no more lumps. Return to soup and simmer at least one hour.

I really like this recipe. however, I think it is a little too tomatoey for me. Next time I will only use 1 can of tomato paste. I meant to buy a jalapeno to spice it up but I forgot it. I added groud red pepper and hot sauce instead. I don't like beans so I left them out. I added an extra can of corn, plus a red bell pepper and okra to replace them. I like a lot of vegetables in my soups. I really like the cream cheeze in it with the added pepper jack cheese. Very good!
