As promised, here is a recipe that we love to make with our leftover roast chicken, taco soup! It is simple, fast, and packed full of flavor. This is such a great way to make a healthy, hearty meal on a weeknight with very little effort. This recipe has very little preperation and there is no waste with multiple pots and pans used. I find it so satisfying to be able to throw everything into one pot and have the ingredients meld together on their own and create pure scrumptiousness.
This soup focuses more on the delicious ingredients and has just enough broth to cover everything. With a kick of heat, it is accompanied by the smooth texture of the beans and crispy corn. There is a lot going on with this soup and it stimulates your senses.

1 pound roasted chicken
