Add the oil to a large cooking pot or Dutch oven. Turn the burner to a medium low heat. Add the bell peppers and stir and saute for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and onion. Continue to cook and stir for 2 to 3 minutes more.
Add the tomatoes, broth and chicken to the pot. Stir in the taco seasoning and cilantro. When the broth begins to bubble, reduce the heat to the lowest setting. Simmer for 15 to 30 minutes.

My husband who never eats more than one serving of any dish, finished a second serving of this stew! He said it was the best soup he had ever tasted. When I reminded him that he said that about "The BEST Slow Cooker Thai Chicken Curry", he replied: That was the BEST curry ever and this is the BEST soup!
