This soup is loaded with flavorful and hearty ingredients, that you can keep the sides simple and easy to make. These are our favorites:

• Tortilla Strips
• Shredded Cheese
• Sour Cream
• Avocado
• Green Onion
• Hot Sauce

• Cilantro

Substitutions and Additions:

• Taco Seasoning – You can use package taco seasoning or make homemade taco seasoning. Making homemade allows you to control what you put in the seasoning and it taste better too.
• Ranch Dressing – To change the flavor of the soup, add in a tablespoon of ranch dressing seasoning mix.
• Beans – We used black beans but you can also add in pinto beans or omit them all together.
• Diced Tomatoes – You can use plain diced tomatoes or use a spicy version of tomatoes. We like using a can of Rotel for added flavor.
• Chicken – You can use chicken thighs or chicken tenders if you prefer. This soup would still be amazing if your left out the chicken. This is a great soup to use leftover chicken in. You can even use ground turkey.
• Broth Soup – We love the creamy broth that this soup has, but you can skip adding the cream cheese if you prefer a thinner broth. If you have beef broth, you can use that instead of chicken broth.
• Large Soup Pot – If you prefer you can make this in a large pot on the stove top. Just add the ingredients as indicated and heat. Then stir in cream cheese about 30 before serving.

How to Store Leftovers:

We love having leftover soup. We think it taste even better the next day as the ingredients really marinate together to give it more flavor.

Simply place the leftover chicken taco soup in an air tight container and store in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for up to 4 days if stored properly.

If we are meal prepping for the week, we like to store in individual containers for an easy lunch on the go.

How to Freeze Soup:

Freezing soup is the perfect way to save time and money. Homemade soup taste better and it is better for you. When I make soup for my family, I try to double the batch so I can some to freezer.

We recommend freezing in individual containers as it is easy to thaw overnight to have fresh soup for lunch the next day. Let us show you have to freeze soup the right way with all the tips and tricks here.
