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 the 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.

• Cilantro

How To Make Stovetop Taco Soup

With just a few pantry staples and minimal prep, this soup comes together in no time.

STEP 1

In a large pot over medium heat, brown the ground beef, crumbling it as it cooks. Add the onions and sauté until tender. Drain off any excess grease, then stir in the minced garlic. Cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

STEP 2

Add the remaining ingredients and seasonings/spices to the pot, stirring well to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 20 minutes.

STEP 3

Serve with toppings if desired. Enjoy!

Storing Easy Stovetop Taco Soup

Store leftover taco soup in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave until heated through.
