My family LOVES this easy taco soup and could probably eat it everyday. It’s definitely one of our all time favorite and EASY soup recipes to make. We usually have all the ingredients on hand and it’s something that I usually make without a recipe.

Everyone I’ve made this taco soup for always asks for the recipe. It’s a great meal to take to a family in need. I make this recipe at least once a month and always eat the leftovers. It freezes and reheats really well!

Storage and Freezing Instructions:

To Store: Store taco soup in the refrigerator for 3-4 days after making. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop.

To Freeze: Allow soup to cool completely. Place in a freezer-safe container or bag and freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw soup in the refrigerator overnight and simmer on the stove until warm, or warm in the microwave.

Recipe Variations:

Instant Pot Taco Soup: Brown ground beef on sauté setting until cooked. Remove grease. Add remaining ingredients and add one extra cup of broth. Cook on manual/high pressure for 3 minutes, then allow the pressure to naturally release for 15 minutes before carefully removing the lid.
Crock Pot Taco Soup: Brown ground beef on the stove. Add the cooked ground beef and remaining ingredients to the slow cooker. Cook on low for 4-6 hours. Serve with your favorite toppings.
Vegetarian Taco Soup: Leave the meat out and add extra beans.
Chicken Taco Soup: Substitute shredded chicken for the ground beef.
Spices: you could also substitute seasonings.

Can I Use Ground Turkey Instead of Ground Beef?

Yes, ground turkey, chicken or pork would work in this taco soup recipe. If you wanted to make it vegetarian you could use lentils or another can of beans.
