This year I have been so busy, what with traveling and side jobs, that I haven’t had as much time to cook as I would like. I used to cook every day – sometimes multiple times. Now I think I’m getting takeout more than ever.

Now that its getting cooler, I am trying to get back on track. Being busy is a bad excuse for not cooking – especially if you’re a food blogger. So I’m going back to my all-time favorite food group. Soup.

Haha, I know soup isn’t a food group but it should be. It’s great for lunch and dinner and if you make it at night, you can eat the leftovers the next day. It’s also a great way to use up odd ingredients you may have laying around.

Creamy Chicken Taco Soup

This recipe for creamy chicken taco soup is so delicious and so easy to make. You can substitute the chicken breast for rotisserie chicken if you want. You can also add more or less taco seasoning depending on how spicy you want it to be.

I love to top off a big bowl with some sour cream, avocado slices and shredded cheese. Maybe even a jalapeño slice or two. Because I like my food spicy!

I created this recipe as part of my partnership with Peapod and the recipe website FromthePod.com. I’m part of a group of great food bloggers creating awesome recipes with Peapod in mind.
