Spicy Chicken and Bean Soup

 

There’s no better way to end a beautiful fall day–or stretch your food budget–than with a pot of steaming hot, hearty soup! This deliciously simple Spicy Chicken and Bean Soup is the perfect way to utilize a rotisserie chicken, and with just a few super simple ingredients thrown into your Instant Pot this soup comes together in minutes.

And the best part? It’s freezer friendly, which means you can save it to make later. To make it as part of a freezer cooking day, just split the soup into multiple bags, then throw it right into the freezer–no cooking required!

Here is what you need:

2 10 oz. cans Rotel original
1 container chicken stock
2 16 oz. cans white beans, drained
1 1/2 cups frozen corn
3-4 carrots, peeled and diced
2 small salad peppers, diced
1 small onion, diced
2 cups pulled chicken from rotisserie
salt & pepper
2 Tablespoons butter

Step 1: Clean carrots and peppers then chop and set aside.

Step 2: Then dice onion and set aside.

Step 3: Add 2 tablespoon of butter to pot then add vegetables and select saute. Saute for 5-7 minutes.

Step 4: Once time is up, then place shredded chicken in pot along with the beans, Rotel, stock and corn. Stir and then place lid back on and set for 7 minutes on Soup setting.

Step 5: Once time is up, do a quick release of steam and then ladle soup into bowls. Serve with a side of corn bread and enjoy.

    • Rotel is the brand name of a tomato and pepper blend that is canned. There are store brand versions that are equally as tasty. You can usually find it next to salsa in stores (or with canned tomatoes).

      • Thanks!! Don't think we have Rotel in Ireland but hopefully will find something similar as this looks SO yummy!

  • Can you do this in the crockpot ( slow cooker)?
    How long? And would you still sauté carrots/peppers/onions or no?

    • Yes, you can make this recipe in a crock-pot. You would not need to saute the carrots, peppers and onions but I would suggest you place them in the crock-pot first and then add the beans, chicken, corn and liquids. Cook in crock-pot for 4-6 hours on low or 2-3 on high.
