Magic Soup

You know that feeling when you find an easy dinner recipe that everyone in the family eats with enthusiasm? It’s magic! Well, let me introduce you to Quick and Easy Taco Soup. It’s as close as you get to a ‘dump and go’ recipe without using a crockpot. If you’ve got 30 minutes, you’ve got dinner! And one that not a single family member will object to. Everyone loves it! In the fall, I love to make a skillet of my Sweet and Simple Cornbread to serve with it. It feels so hearty and comforting! This soup also makes a great addition to your game day menu. It’s popular with a crowd and so easy to make in a big batch. Sometimes I like to make it without the added beef broth and serve it with tortilla chip scoops for dipping. It’s hard to go wrong!

How to Make Easy Taco Soup

In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until tender. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks. Stir in the taco seasoning mix and ranch dressing mix until well combined with the browned meat.

Add all remaining ingredients (do not drain the liquid from the cans). Bring the soup to a simmer and then reduce the heat to low and let simmer for at least 20 minutes, stirring occasionally until heated through.

Serve with shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped green onions, and tortilla chips. Enjoy! Store any leftover taco soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days. To freeze taco soup, allow it to cool completely before storing in a plastic freezer-safe container. This storage container set is my absolute favorite because it has various sizes for storing different amounts. The smaller container are great for freezing individual portions to defrost and enjoy for lunch or a snack. The larger containers are great for freezing family meals or larger dishes.

Can I substitute…

The very best thing about this recipe is how flexible it is. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve started making a quick and easy recipe only to find I was missing an ingredient. Don’t have pinto beans? I’ve made this with ranch beans instead! I regret nothing. Want to substitute black beans for kidney beans? Go right ahead! It will still taste wonderful. Because this soup is magic. Also, in the case of very picky eaters who get weird about chunks of things (🙄), you can run the Rotel and the stewed tomatoes through a food processor. You can thank you me later.

More Soups the Whole Family Will Love

My Tuscan Tortellini Soup is a comforting one-pot meal that’s perfect for a chilly winter day. It’s so easy to make and is bursting with delicious Tuscan flavors. Baked Sweet Potato Soup loaded with cheddar cheese, bacon, sour cream and onions for the ultimate in comfort food! Or try a homemade take on Chick-fil-A’s Chicken Tortilla Soup that tastes even better than the original and that you can enjoy year-round (and even on Sundays)!
