Before you start
- Lidded saucepan or Dutch oven
- Mixing bowl
Prepare cold sides first. Keep raw-poultry tools separate; use clean serving utensils. Probe more than one thick piece. A timer is not a doneness test.
Cook
- Aromatics
Heat the unspecified cooking oil over medium in a pot. Sauté onion, bell pepper and jalapeño until softened.
- Simmer
Add chicken, undrained tomatoes, green chilies, taco mix and broth. Cover and simmer 20–25 minutes, adjusting heat as needed.
- Cream
Remove chicken and shred it. While it is out, whisk cream cheese, cream and cheddar into the soup until the cream cheese melts.
- Finish
Return shredded chicken, stir and serve.
Where your attention goes
Stages can overlap. Do not add every row as separate elapsed time. Safe endpoints and actual appliance behavior override the estimate.
Why this works
Nutrition per serving
Calories: 356 kcal; protein: 33.0 g; total carbs: 4.3 g; fiber: 1.2 g; net carbs: 3.1 g
Publisher estimate per original portion; proportional ingredient scaling preserves that portion.
Listed allergens: milk. Check purchased labels and cross-contact.
First-cook checks
- Oil appears only in method and has no amount/type.
- Source total 35 min differs from 5 min prep plus 25 min cook.
- Ingredient quantities are scaled from 8 original portions to four portions. Fractions of whole items may need weighing or dividing after preparation. Larger batches need extra cooking space or batches; keep thickness and endpoint checks.
- Adapted from Annie Holmes. This adaptation has not been kitchen-tested.
- Safe doneness checks are added to the publisher method; timers alone do not establish doneness.
Leftovers
Refrigerate in shallow containers within two hours, or one hour above 90°F. Use within 3–4 days or freeze; reheat to 165°F. Keep cold greens and yogurt separate.
