Ingredients

  • Chicken Broth: 1 can (about 14.5 ounces)
  • Water: 1 cup
  • Instant Minced Garlic: 2 teaspoons
  • Dried Parsley Flakes: 1/4 teaspoon
  • Frozen Whole Kernel Corn: 1 cup
  • Red Bell Pepper: 1, diced
  • Green Bell Pepper: 1, diced
  • Onion: 1/4 cup, finely chopped
  • Red Kidney Beans: 1 can (15 ounces), drained and rinsed
  • Stewed Tomatoes: 1 can (14.5 ounces), undrained
  • Taco Seasoning Mix: 1 packet
  • Uncooked Noodles: 1 cup (optional, for extra heartiness)

Instructions

  1. Combine the Base: In a large saucepan, pour in the chicken broth and water. Stir in the taco seasoning mix, instant minced garlic, and dried parsley flakes. These ingredients form a flavorful base for your soup.

  2. Add the Veggies: Toss in the frozen whole kernel corn, diced red and green bell peppers, and finely chopped onion. Give everything a good stir to combine the flavors.

  3. Incorporate the Chicken and Beans: Add the red kidney beans and the can of stewed tomatoes (with their juice) to the pot. Mix everything together thoroughly. If you’re using cooked chicken, shred or cube it and add it to the mixture.

  4. Bring to a Boil: Heat the mixture over medium-high heat until it reaches a rolling boil. This will help the flavors meld together.

  5. Add Noodles (Optional): If you’re using uncooked noodles, stir them in now. They’ll cook directly in the soup, absorbing all the wonderful flavors.

  6. Simmer and Stir: Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let the soup simmer for about 15 minutes. Stir occasionally, until the vegetables and noodles are tender.

  7. Serve Hot: Ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy the delicious, comforting flavors. Garnish with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of cheese if desired.
