Here's a recipe that's so simple and so delicious, once you make it, it will forever be in your dinner rotation. It's chicken taco soup, and it's filling, flavorful, and phenomenal.

Similar to a tortilla soup, this recipe adapted from All Recipes is a bit heartier as it contains beans, tomato sauce, taco seasoning, and more. The chicken cooks right in the soup, so you can just start with raw breasts. Served with cheese, tortilla chips, avocado slices, and any other Tex Mex toppings you like, it's a one-bowl meal that everyone will crave.
