Taco Soup Ingredients

• 1 pounds ground beef
• One small yellow onion, diced
• cup green pepper, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 package taco seasoning
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 cups frozen corn
• 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
• 15 oz can tomato sauce
• 10 oz Rotel tomatoes
• 4 oz green chilies
• 1 cup water, optional

Substitutions

You could use ground turkey or ground chicken instead of hamburger as well.

You could make it vegetarian by skipping the meat and only using beans.

Kick up the heat by adding diced jalapeno to the soup as well.

Make it low-carb by leaving out the beans and adding more meat.

How to Make Taco Soup

STEP ONE:In a large soup pan drizzle the olive oil and brown the ground beef until no pink remains along with the diced onions. Drain off any excess fat.

STEP TWO: Add the garlic and taco seasoning and stir for one minute.

STEP THREE:Add the rest of the ingredients to the soup pot and bring to a boil. Depending on how thick you like your soup you can add 1 cup of water to the tomato juice can, rinse it out and dump it in the soup or measure out 1 cup of water and add to soup.

STEP FOUR:Once it comes to a boil reduce heat and simmer for 25-30 minutes.

PRO TIP: This is made on the stovetop, but you could easily transfer to your crockpot to simmer or keep warm for serving a crowd.

What Do You Eat with Taco Soup?

There are so many topping options! Serve your soup with sliced red or green onions, sour cream, jalapenos, Mexican blend cheese, avocado, tortilla strips, or chopped cilantro.

Bake a pan of our delicious cornbread to serve as well.

How Long is Taco Soup Good For?

You can store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for three to four days.

You can reheat individual servings in the microwave or pour back into a pot and warm back through on the stovetop.

Can I Freeze Taco Soup?

Yes! This is a great meal to make a double batch and store half in an airtight, freezer-safe container. It will last for four to six months in the freezer.

PRO TIP: I love freezing soup in gallon size freezer safe bags because its so easy to store flat and then thaw and reheat without taking a lot of space up in my freezer.
