Simple Taco Soup is filled with beef, tomatoes, corn, beans, and taco flavor. Ready in less than 30-minutes and a family favorite.

My house has been on a major soup kick lately. Once the weather starts to cool down soup becomes a mealtime favorite.

My Simple Taco Soup is a frequently requested soup by my kids. One of the fantastic things about this recipe is that it involves very little chopping, and my kids love to help make the soup. I typically do the can opening, but my kids love dumping the beans and tomatoes into the pot.

The ingredients are very simple, and probably already sitting in the pantry. This is a great recipe to keep ingredients on hand if you need a quick dinner.

The seasoning is really simple as well- I use a packet of taco seasoning and a packet of ranch seasoning. There is a little seasoning in the chili beans, but it is easy for a quick soup recipe.

Instructions

  1. In a medium pot, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain grease.
  2. Add taco seasoning and mix well.
  3. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes  stirring occasionally.
  4. Serve and top with desired taco toppings.

Try sour cream, olives, chopped tomatoes, sliced peppers, cheese, and corn chips for a loaded bowl of Taco Soup!

Substitutions

Ground turkey, ground chicken, cooked shredded chicken, or eve shredded pork are excellent substitution for ground beef.

Looking for a vegetarian option? Try adding chopped mushrooms or sweet potatoes to the soup.

Looking for more heat? Add additional spicy chopped pepper, or even chipotle in adobo for some smoky heat!

    I love taco soup! I've never thought to add ranch seasoning to it before though! I bet it's delicious.
