Stovetop Instructions
  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine the chicken broth, drained beans, drained corn, undrained Rotel tomatoes, taco seasoning, and ranch seasoning. Stir everything together.
  2. Nestle the chicken breasts into the liquid. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.

  4. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot with your favorite toppings.
Slow Cooker Instructions

  2. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the chicken is tender.
  3. Remove the chicken, shred it, and return it to the slow cooker. Stir well and serve hot with desired toppings.
