Claire's Chicken Taco Soup
Can you believe that’s it?! As Claire says – if you can open cans, you can make this hearty crowd pleaser…
It’s great right away and great left over – what a beautiful thing. So many taco/tortilla soup recipes out there are labor-intense and seem to be a bit flavorless. However, Claire’s Chicken Taco Soup is a POW of flavor that chicken tacos WISHED they tasted like!! I think it has even more flavor than the Chunky Chicken Tortilla Soup that my mom and I make…I’ll admit it…

Just try it…you’ll like it.
Zach-and-Nathan-o-meter: Our husbands are hunnnngry, meat eatin’ men and they devour this recipe with total satisfaction. They will eat it for multiple meals back-to-back and we have to convince them to switch it up!
PS – Claire calls this “Bradley Fox’s” Chicken Taco Soup, but I don’t know Mr. Fox…and as far as I’m concerned, this is Claire’s Chicken Taco Soup – and darn good taco soup at that. Enough said.
Just had lunch and saw your pictures….wish I was eating this. Thank you for the recipe!
