Anything taco is going to be my favorite! I love the bold taste in Mexican-style food, and could eat it every single day, and never get tired of it!

This taco soup is perfect for family taco night and one my entire family enjoys. It’s super easy to make and full of flavor.

How to make Taco Soup:

Taco Soup is one of my favorite recipes. I make this for lunch for myself on the stovetop at least twice a week.

You can also make it in the slow cooker! Cook your ground beef, and then add your remaining ingredients.

Bring to a boil and then simmer. When serving for dinner I love to serve them with these Mini Cornbread Muffins.

Taco Soup Ingredients:

  • Ground beef: I like to use lean ground beef. You can also use ground turkey.
  • Corn: Use canned or frozen.
  • Salsa: Whatever salsa you prefer will work. I use mild store-bought salsa. Taco soup with salsa gives this recipe the perfect flavor.
  • Green chilies
  • Taco seasoning: this taco soup recipe with ranch is one of my favorite parts. It gives it such a a good flavor! You can use a store-bought mix or make it homemade.
  • Black Beans: Drained and rinsed. Make sure you don’t skip rinsing them since that could make the soup overly salty.
  • Ranch seasoning
  • Beef broth

  1. Made this using Impossible burger because it’s kinder and just as tasty.
    Good quick recipe with stuff I already have. 👍

  2. MADE IT! This is sooooo good. My husband got the ranch seasoning that is spicy, I didn’t even know there was a spicy ranch seasoning. But it just upped the heat a little. Thanks so much for sharing. Delicious!!

    1. Yes, this will freeze great! Once you have cooked it allow it to cool before placing it in a storage container or bag.
