Fast and Easy Taco Soup

If the recipe has “taco” in the title, I probably love it. Taco Casserole? Yum! Slow Cooker Taco Soup? Yes, please!

This Stovetop soup is based on my Slow Cooker Taco Soup recipe, but is ready in 30 minutes. Sometimes mornings are busy and I can’t get everything ready in the Slow Cooker in time, so this fast stovetop recipe makes Taco Soup possible.

Also, did I mention this is a 1 pot recipe? Yup, don’t you love it? You’re going to brown the ground beef in a pot, and then use that same pot to add all the other soup ingredients. Less dishes equals more happiness in my opinion!

This Taco Soup is a favorite of my family, and it can totally be customized with toppings depending on what you like. For example, Matthew prefers crushed up tortilla chips, sour cream and cheese on his, while Enceladus and I are team avocado and cheese all the way. However you decide to serve it, you must try it!

Ingredients

This soup calls for simple ingredients that I always have in my kitchen. I hope you have everything too!

  1. small onion
  2. green bell pepper
  3. ground beef
  4. beef broth
  5. can of black beans (or make your own black beans)
  6. diced tomatoes (fresh or canned)
  7. frozen corn (or canned)
  8. taco seasoning
spoon filled with taco soup

How to Make

Brown. In a large pot brown 1 pound ground beef with chopped up onion and green bell pepper.

Add ingredients to pot. Add beef broth, black beans, diced tomatoes, corn and taco seasoning (want to make your own? recipe below) into the pot with the ground beef.

Tip: Want it to be extra special? Use roasted corn. Here’s how to cook corn in the oven.

Simmer. On medium high heat, simmer for 20 minutes.

Serve. Serve this soup in bowls, adding crushed tortillas chips avocado, sour cream, shredded cheese, cilantro or whatever else you want to add on top.

I hope you enjoy this Stovetop Taco Soup as much as my family does!

Homemade Taco Seasoning

This recipe calls for 1 packet of taco seasoning. You can use the store bought version or you can make homemade taco seasoning. If you want to make it from scratch, here’s the recipe I use. I like to triple (or more) this recipe and store in a glass spice jar. When a recipe calls for a taco packet, you will need 2 tablespoons of this homemade taco seasoning.

Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl.

  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

    Don’t you drain the hamburger grease?

      This is up to you depending on if you’re using a lean ground beef or not. If there’s alot of extra grease, feel free to drain it.

    I am always on the lookout for reasonably healthful soup recipes, and found this (on Facebook!). Made a double batch tonight and it is fabulous, with lots for leftovers and for sharing. I used a homemade taco seasoning recipe that’s very similar to yours, but I leave out the salt because there is salt in other things in the recipe. I did top it with sour cream, shredded cheese, and avocado as suggested, and also added some sliced black olives. Next time I will also add a bit of chopped green onions, because that’s what I put on taco salad.

      Can fresh corn be used? I would think it would hold up better than frozen.
