January is National Slow Cooker Month and I am celebrating with my Slow Cooker Taco Noodle Soup. This is simple weeknight dinner. Packed with traditional taco flavors ground beef, beans, corn, and tomatoes.
My Slow Cooker Taco Soup is on of those recipes that is an easy winner in my house.
My kids love anything taco flavored, and they love soup. They especially love that this soup is topped with crunchy corn chips!
I use a simple chicken broth base in this soup, but it is packed with two different types of beans, chilies, tomatoes, corn, and flavorful ground beef.
I also use a ranch seasoning packet and a taco seasoning packet. I like using ranch with taco because it adds a zesty flavor to the taco. This is also my go-to seasoning combo for shredded chicken that I use in my tacos or enchiladas.
My kids love pasta and I add that as well. If you plan to freeze this soup you will want to omit the pasta until ready to serve.
This is a big family favorite!
Ingredients
- lean ground beef - Ground turkey, chicken, or a plant based protein work well.

- Rotel - I use the original product. There are also spicy and mild varieties.
- taco seasoning packet
- ranch seasoning packet
- garlic powder
- ground cumin
- low sodium chicken broth
- frozen corn
- uncooked elbow noodles - any small shaped pasta can be used like shells, or mini penne.
- Grated cheese, sour cream and corn chips for toppings
Instructions
- Brown ground beef with onion. Drain.
- Add to the slow cooker, beef/onion mixture and all remaining ingredients with exception of corn and noodles. Cook on low 4-5 hours. During the last 30 minutes of cooking add the corn and the noodles. Stir and replace the cover of the slow cooker. Cook till noodles are tender. Salt to taste.
- Serve and Slow Cooker Taco Noodle Soup with cheese, sour cream and corn chips
Cooking Tip
It is important not to add the corn and pasta in the beginning. The pasta in the Slow Cooker Taco Noodle Soup will overcook and the corn will as well.

This sounds really tasty! Sometimes a soup is so good that even though the weather is warm, you still enjoy it, right? Can't wait to try it.

I am really, really wanting the corn chips and macaroni about now! Mr. Saucy is making an effort to lose some weight, so I'm preparing low-carb foods. I yearn for the carbs! It looks great. P~
