Remove the chicken from the crock pot and place on a platter or cutting board.
Add the chili beans, black beans, corn, tomato sauce, and diced tomatoes to the crock pot and stir well. Shred the chicken with two forks and return the meat to the crock pot. Stir to coat the chicken.
Cover the crock pot and cook for 2 more hours or until everything is heated through. You can add chicken broth if the soup is too thick.

Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

Hi, I just made the Chicken Taco Soup recipe, and it was yummy even my 2yr old eat it and he's very picky about food. I did how ever tweek it a bit. I add chicken broth insted of beer...and didn't have a can of tamatos with chiles so I just added a can of diced tamatos and cut up 1 jalapeno (de seeded) and add that instead...I also was short hand on taco spice so I added a pork rub I make myself with the same stuff that in the taco spice, so I did that...and added a about 12oz more water because I put more chicken in...but it was yummy and I have my kids asking to mak it again...:) thank you for this recipe you guys have saved dinner for me yet again...:)

LUV IT, LUV IT- So easy and kids and adults both like it. My husband is asking for it every couple of weeks- It has become a regular favorite in my househould. It's great b/c I can throw all the stuff in and do other things. It tastes so good. Dinner is done w/ tasty leftovers. It freezes well also. One change I made was to use fiesta corn. Try it and you'll be hooked.

This recipe is wonderful! It was so easy to make and everyone loved it. Next time I may add more beans. However, it's great the original way too! I will definitely make this over and over!
