This soup is perfect for meal prep and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Storing Leftovers

If you find yourself with leftovers, you’re in luck! This soup stores beautifully, making it perfect for meal prep. Allow the soup to cool completely before transferring it to airtight containers. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to four days or frozen for longer storage. Just make sure to leave some space in the container, as the soup may expand when frozen.

When you’re ready to enjoy the leftovers, simply reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave until heated through. You might want to add a splash of chicken broth or water to loosen it up, as it may thicken in the fridge.

Making It Ahead of Time

One of the best features of this crockpot chicken taco soup is its make-ahead convenience. You can prepare all the ingredients the night before and store them in the fridge. In the morning, simply transfer everything into the crockpot and let it do the work while you go about your day. This is a lifesaver for busy families who want to come home to a warm, delicious meal.

Additionally, if you’re hosting a gathering, consider making a double batch. This soup is a crowd-pleaser and can easily serve a large group, ensuring that no one leaves hungry. Your guests will appreciate the effort, and you’ll enjoy the extra time spent mingling instead of cooking.
