If you are looking for an easy, but flavorful meal, this easy taco soup recipe is just the thing. It has great taco flavor with the coziness of a bowl of soup.
This taco soup recipe comes together in a flash and is loaded with goodies. The mix of ground beef, veggies, and beans helps to fill you up while not being heavy.
This soup is similar to chili in a lot of ways. It has those Tex-Mex flavors and is extra tasty when you top it with sour cream, cheese, or your favorite toppings.
It is great for a busy weeknight meal, but would also be great simmering on the stove while watching football on the weekend. There isn’t a bad time for taco soup!
Make it in the slow cooker
If you want, you can make this soup in a crockpot. Just brown the ground beef and sweat down the onions in a skillet. Load all of the ingredients in your slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.

Another hit at my house compliments of Carlee💜
Soooooo good and easy to put together. Perfect for this abnormal cold weather we’re actually having in South GA. Tortilla strips are….well, addictive and easy too. Keep the hits coming I’m afraid I couldn’t cook anymore without you!
Thank you so much!!!
I replaced the ground beef with rotisserie chicken and the beef broth with chicken broth, but kept everything else the same. Delicious and the family enjoyed it!
Great idea! I am going to have to make your chicken version soon.
You’ve listed the taco seasoning twice. Is it 1 or 2 packets?
Oh my goodness, you are right. It is just 1 packet. Thanks for letting me know, I will get that fixed.
