Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Chicken Taco Soup
  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add 1 diced onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 chopped bell pepper; cook for about 5–7 minutes until softened.
  2. Sprinkle in 2 tablespoons of taco seasoning and stir for about 1 minute to bloom the spices.
  3. Pour in 4 cups of chicken broth, 1 can of diced tomatoes, and 1 cup of corn. Increase heat and bring to a gentle simmer.
  4. If using raw chicken, add to the broth. If using shredded chicken, add now. Simmer uncovered for 15–20 minutes until cooked through.
  5. About 10 minutes before finishing cooking, add 1 can of drained beans and stir gently.
  6. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning. Simmer for another 2–3 minutes to meld flavors.
  7. Ladle the soup into bowls and offer toppings like cheese, sour cream, cilantro, lime, and tortilla chips.
