I love Taco Soup! 

Chicken Taco Soup is a quick and simple Taco Soup recipe for a chilly fall evening from scratch.

If you have never made Chicken Taco Soup it deserves a spot on the dinner rotation. Even if you have a smaller family then ours you can freeze the leftovers in small containers and have a pre-made lunch. Sadly it never lasts long enough in our house to save for later. 

The best part of Chicken Taco Soup is serving it with all the toppings so everyone can make it just the way  they like! Some of our favorite toppings are grated cheese, sour cream, diced avocado, cilantro, tortilla chips, and pickled jalapeños.

Here's how to make the recipe for Chicken Taco Soup:

In a large stock pot add 1 tablespoon Olive Oil or Avocado Oil. 

Stir in:

• 1 whole Medium Sized Onion, Diced
• 2 whole Carrots, Diced
• 2 whole Ribs Celery, Diced 

Heat over medium-high. Cook until onions soften and start to caramelize.

Add:

• 1 whole Bell Pepper, Diced
• 2 whole Jalapeños, Seeded and Diced or 1 Poblano Chili for less spicy
• 4 cloves Garlic, Minced
• 1 tablespoon Granulated Garlic, 
• 3 tablespoons Chili Powder
• 1 tablespoon Oregano
• 1 tablespoon Ground Cumin

Cook for about 2 minutes until spices are fragrant.

Stir until well combined. Bring to a simmer and turn to low. Cook for at least 30 minutes or if you have all day let the Chicken Taco Soup recipe simmer on low.
