Slow Cooker Creamy and Skinny Taco Chili Soup Recipe. You can use ground turkey, ground chicken or ground beef in this recipe. This soup is satisfying and creamy but not cream based.
One of the ways I get inspiration for my slow cooker recipes is simply reading regular non-slow cooker recipes. My mind is always racing to think “how could I make this into a slow cooker recipe?” Sometimes, it’s hard and doesn’t work out and sometimes it’s simply a matter of putting the same ingredients into my crockpot and cooking on low for a few hours. When it comes to stews, soups and chilis the slow cooker is a master chef. I love making soups in the slow cooker and letting them simmer all day long.

I got the inspiration for this Slow Cooker Creamy and Skinny Taco Chili Soup from a fellow food blogger, Gina of Skinnytaste. I changed it up to make it my own and I also slow cooked the soup instead of making it on the stove. I love how this soup has a creamy thick consistency without heavy cream. To thicken the soup, I used a can of refried beans which goes along nicely with the Mexican theme. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! This is such a perfect supper and I love eating the leftovers for lunch the next day.

How to make Slow Cooker Creamy and Skinny Taco Chili Soup

 First you’ll start by browning some ground turkey. If you want you can use ground chicken or ground beef instead. I don’t use any oil to brown my turkey. I just put it in a pan over medium high heat and stir frequently. If it starts to get really dry I’ll add in a tablespoon of water.

As the turkey starts to brown, you’ll add in a tablespoon of tomato paste (flavor booster!) and some diced onions.

Cook until the onions are soft and the turkey is browned. Now you’ve finished the hardest part of the recipe!

You’ll add in some seasonings and canned items and then put the lid on and you’re all set!

After the soup is slow cooked for several hours, you’ll add in some corn. I love to serve this soup with diced avocados and a little bit of cheese. Because it’s already creamy, I don’t add in sour cream.

I also like to crunch up a few tortilla chips and serve them over the top of my soup. But that’s totally optional.

Description

Need a warm bowl of comfort without the guilt? Try this creamy, satisfying taco chili soup for dinner this week. It tastes amazing and it’s a cinch to make. With the help of your slow cooker you’ll be all set.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground turkey or ground chicken or ground beef
  • 1 small yellow or white onion, diced
  • 1 Tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can petite diced tomatoes
  • 1 (4 oz) diced green chiles
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can black or kidney beans (rinsed and drained)
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can refried beans
  • 2 cups chicken broth or 2 cups water mixed with chicken bouillon
  • Taco seasoning to taste (I used 1/4 cup of the McCormick’s stuff, but I would start with 2 Tbsp of seasoning and go from there…each brand or even homemade is different in potency)
  • 2 cups frozen white sweet corn
  • Optional toppings: diced avocado, shredded cheese and tortilla chips

Instructions

  1. Start browning the turkey over medium high heat. Add in the diced onion and tomato paste. When turkey is browned and onions are softened, add the mixture to the slow cooker.
  2. Add in tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, green chiles, drained black beans, refried beans, broth and taco seasoning. Stir a bit.
  3. Cover and cook on LOW 4-6 hours. Stir in the corn and let it heat through.
  4. Ladle into bowls and top with desired toppings.

Notes

For this recipe I used my 6 quart oval Kitchenaid slow cooker. I love this slow cooker (you can see me talking about it in a video here). It cooks low and evenly. I love the medium heat choice because most slow cookers that I’ve seen only have the option of cooking on low or high. If you’re going to buy just one slow cooker, this is the one that I recommend.

To make this recipe gluten free: Check your broth and taco seasoning to be sure it does not contain gluten.

    Great recipe! Omitted the tomato sauce and added more spice and a few cubes of velveeta. Amazing! Thank you!

    This recepy was delicious. I followed the instructions exactly how they were. I just added 1/2 more of chicken broth and chipotle in adobo and juice from one lime for a little kick. It was perfect. Thank you so much.
