Our Chicken Taco Soup Recipe is a quick and easy dinner that tastes more amazing than it is simple to make! Crockpot Chicken Taco Soup with Cream Cheese is going to become one of your family’s favorite meals! What’s the magical flavors in this chicken taco soup with ranch dressing? I think it’s three things. . . the cream cheese gives it a creamy yumminess, the rotel tomatoes add a bit of southwest flair, and then the dry ranch dressing packet ties it all together! We just love it and we’re sure you and your family will love it too! 

Why we love Chicken Taco Soup Recipe

It’s easy 🙂  I usually have these ingredients “on hand” so it’s a good one to fall back on when I don’t have time to run to the grocery store.  It’s got a bit of a kick but nothing I can’t handle!  I’m pretty weak sauce when it comes to super spicy foods.

Slow Cooker recipes are the best especially on those super busy days! I love to come home to the house smelling amazing. . . then with just a couple of more ingredients to add at the end we can sit down to dinner in 10 minutes or less.

I feel like someone cooked dinner for me!  AND that’s what I call magic. 🙂 

Slow Cooker Tips & Tricks

•  They can be the perfect breeding ground for bacteria and pathogens.

• Preheat your crock pot just like you preheat your oven.  Plug it in and turn it to the High setting to get it nice and hot for cooking. 

• Add everything into the crock pot as warmed up as it can be, to cut down on the getting-the-food-hot portion of cooking, this is where you need to be cautious and make sure it is all hot and up to cooking temperature in 2-3 hours.  

• If food stays between 41 degrees and 135 degrees for 4 hours, then it has to be thrown out because the bacteria and pathogens have had much too much time to grow and a foodborne illness is a likely result.

• If you add meat make sure it is thawed and NEVER frozen, if it’s beef or pork brown it first.  

• Add liquids hot ie: like use HOT water or warm up any liquids in the microwave first then add them in already hot.
