Easy Taco Soup Recipe INGREDIENTS
- Ground Beef
- Onion – Red, white, or yellow onions can be used.
- Garlic
- Rotel – For a milder soup, use the original Rotel. If you want a spicy taco soup, you can use mild or hot Rotel.
- Corn – Canned, frozen, or fresh corn.
- Black Beans – I love using black beans in this taco soup recipe, but you can easily substitute them with kidney beans, chickpeas, or even pinto beans.
- Stock – For a flavorful soup base, I like to use beef stock.
- Tomato Sauce – The tomato sauce in the soup base really elevates the flavor. I’ve tried making it both with and without tomato sauce, and I definitely prefer the richer, more robust taste it adds to the soup.
- Spices/Seasonings – A combination of salt, pepper, cumin, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, and chipotle powder is used to flavor the soup.
