Taco Soup

This is easy and tasty. Use a crock pot and it makes the house smell wonderful.

1 lb. chicken
1 pkg frozen corn
1 can rotel tomatoes
1 can beans, any kind (I used pinto)
1 pkg taco seasoning mix
1 can chicken broth

Instant rice
1 red or yellow bell pepper
cheese
avocado
sour cream

Load all the chicken, corn, tomatoes and beans, seasoning mix and broth into the crock pot and set on low all day. If the broth doesn't cover all the ingredients you may want to add a can of water. After 8-9 hours, the chicken will be tender enough for you to shred with a fork. After doing this add about 1/4 cup instant rice and the chopped red bell pepper and turn up to high for an additional 20 minutes. Heap into a bowl and top with cheese, avocado and sour cream. Enough for lunch the next day.

Sounds good. We'll have to give that one a try. We use a similar recipe with ground beef.

1 lb beef
1 can rotel
1 can ranch style beans
1 can corn
1 pkg ranch dressing mix
taco seasoning
1 can of water
salt and pepper to taste

cook the beef first, drain and add the taco seasoning then throw everything into the crock pot. cooked on high it can be ready in 2 hours.
we also did a variation Sunday because we already had some cooked ground beef. we chopped it up and then through everything in the pot (taco seasoning included) it came out just as good.
