Remarks
- To make this taco soup on the stove, just brown the beef mixture in a big Dutch oven and then pour in the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, black beans, corn, and water. Simmer for roughly an hour on low heat with a lid on.
- Although there are instructions provided to make the taco meat simultaneously with the soup, you are welcome to follow our example and use any leftover taco meat. If you choose to do that, begin the soup by adding the contents of the diced tomatoes to the cans of green chilies.
FAQs AND QUESTIONS
HOW TO MAKE CROCKPOT TACO SOUP
- Thanks to the trusty slow cooker, this soup is super quick to throw together. I let it simmer all day long, and I am happy to have dinner ready at the end of a long day.
- Start by browning the ground beef, onions, and garlic together. Drain any excess oil or grease, then add the taco seasoning. Transfer this mixture to your slow cooker.
- If you are using the slow cooker function on your Instant Pot or have a slow cooker with a saute function, you can do this all in your crockpot without having to dirty up a skillet!
- Add the tomatoes with green chiles, tomato sauce, black beans, corn, and water to the pot. Give it a stir, then cover and cook on low for 6–8 hours.
- When the soup is done, season with salt and pepper to taste and serve!
SERVING AND FREEZING TIPS
- You can dress up your taco soup in a lot of different ways. We like to add green onions, shredded cheese, and tortilla strips with sour cream as garnishes.
- Pickled or fresh onions, as well as sliced jalapeños, would taste fantastic. Remember to add the hot sauce as well!
- I like to serve small bowls of various toppings with every batch of Crockpot Taco Soup, Tortilla Soup, or Easy Chicken Chili I cook, so everyone can customize their soup to their own tastes.
- This soup freezes beautifully, too. Simply allow it to cool before storing it in the freezer for up to three months in an airtight container.
