Notes

To store the soup, let it cool to room temperature, then transfer it to an airtight container. It will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. If you want to keep it longer, you can freeze the soup for up to 3 months. Just thaw it in the fridge before reheating. Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini for more nutrition. Adjust the spice level by adding more or less taco seasoning or using spicy diced tomatoes. You can make this soup vegetarian by omitting the chicken and adding extra beans or lentils for protein.
