Need dinner ready in less than an hour? Look no further because this 30 Minute Taco Soup is a family favorite and a recipe you are sure to love.

This 30 Minute Taco Soup is one of my favorite soup recipes! My Taco Soup has been a hit with my readers with wonderful reviews.
I decided to make a simple version that can be done in 30 minutes or less. I know some night just get busy and an easy dinner is a must.
How to make 30 Minute Taco Soup:
Start by cooking your ground beef. Once it is done, drain any grease from it. Add the ground beef and all other ingredients to a large soup pot.
Bring to a boil and then simmer from about 20 minutes. Once it is done, serve it topped with sour cream, cheddar cheese and some tortilla chips.
Ingredient Notes:
- Ground Beef – I used 90/10 ground beef for this recipe.
- Canned Corn – I did not drain the canned corn for this recipe.
- Salsa – Use your favorite brand of salsa for this recipe.
- Rotel – Use the full can, including the juice.
- Canned Black Beans – Drained and rinsed.
- Taco Seasoning – Use a store-bought pack of taco seasoning or make Homemade Taco Seasoning.
- Beef Broth – I used low sodium broth for this recipe.
Directions:
Step One: Start by cooking your ground beef.
Use a large pot to cook and crumble ground beef and once cooked drain fat as needed.
Step Two: Next add all the remaining ingredients and mix well.
Bring to a boil and then reduce heat and allow to simmer for 20 minutes
Step Three: Now it’s time to serve!
Spoon into a bowl and serve with your favorite taco toppings.
Should I drain the cans?
For this recipe I only drained and rinsed the black beans. I added the entire cans of corn and Rotel.
If you want to drain them all then add in an addition 1/2 cup of broth.
What to top your taco soup with:
