This chicken taco soup is an easy recipe that’s perfect for the Instant Pot or slow cooker!
(This post contains affiliate links. Please see mydisclosurefor more info.)
I know I talk a lot about how much I love my Instant Pot, but I truly do. I use it multiple times a week, especially in the winter.
Some people feel the same way about their slow cooker, and I get it. It used to be my number 1 go to kitchen gadget.
Some people have told me they don’t have room for another kitchen appliance. The nice thing about the Instant Pot is that you can also use it as a slow cooker.
Don’t worry, I’m including cooking instructions for the Instant Pot and slow cooker.
Either way you to choose to make it, this chicken taco soup is very easy AND low in points!
With myWW blue and purple it is only 1 point per serving, with green it is 6 points per serving.

I calculated the recipe as 4 servings. I’m not sure exactly how much a serving is, but I would say it is about 2 cups per serving. It’s a good amount!
For this chicken taco soup you will need:
- 1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 medium garlic clove
- 14.5 oz. diced tomatoes (do not drain)
- 15 oz. tomato sauce
- 1 oz. taco seasoning
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup corn
- 1 cup black beans
Since the soup is so low in points (I follow blue), I top it with extras. I love adding reduced-fat cheddar cheese and fat-free sour cream. Crushed tortilla chips are also really good.
Just make sure you add any additional points if you use some of these extras.
You can get the recipe below.
