By: Melissa Baker

This is a great recipe for those cool fall and winter nights. It's also very versatile. You can either bake or boil the chicken. If you boil it, you can boil it in the chicken broth with the taco seasoning. You can even toss the chicken, broth and seasoning in a slow cooker and cook it that way. You can add corn or beans to the base soup as well and make it your own. This is a quick fix meal and very simple to make. It's great for potlucks or family gatherings during the holiday season as well. Enjoy!
