Easy Taco Soup Recipe
I love easy meals made with wholesome ingredients and it’s even better if it’s all cooked in one big pot! This taco soup is so easy to make and it’s very similar to my chicken tortilla soup recipe. But this time I’m using ground beef which cooks a whole lot faster along with extra beans and corn to bulk up the soup some more. A simple soup recipe with tons of flavor is always a win in my book!
Here’s What You’ll Need
- Ground Beef: I really wanted to use lean ground beef in this recipe, but you can easily swap it out for ground turkey instead.
- Bell Pepper and Onion: Diced onion and bell pepper get sautéed with the meat to build the foundation of flavor for the soup.
- Taco Seasoning: I made my own taco seasoning mix and added a little bit of Adobo seasoning as well.
- Tomatoes, Beans and Corn: A couple cans of Rotel tomatoes, pinto beans, black beans, and frozen corn help bulk up the soup to make it super filling!
- Broth: You can use either chicken broth or beef broth depending on which one you have in your fridge.
How To Make Taco Soup
The full instructions are included in the recipe card below, but here’s a quick step-by-step overview:
Brown the ground beef then add the diced onions and bell pepper. Sauté the veggies until they are tender.
Stir in the tomato paste and taco seasoning. Cook for another minute.
Now add in the remaining ingredients (diced tomatoes, beans, corn, and broth)
Bring the soup up to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes. Enjoy with your favorite toppings!
Let’s Add Some Toppings!
This is where you get to customize your taco soup with your favorite toppings. I personally like adding shredded cheese, green onions, crispy homemade tortilla strips, and a little bit of sour cream. It would also taste great with fresh cilantro, chunks of avocado, fresh diced tomatoes, or drizzle some of my homemade cilantro lime crema on top!😉
