Taco soup is by far the most requested meal at my house. My husband LOVES it and could probably eat it twice a week. It’s one of my favorite meals too. Heck the kids even love it…and they are PICKY! I just don’t add the taco seasoning to their bowls. It’s definitely one of our all time favorite (EASY) recipes to make! I originally posted this recipe two years ago but wanted to post my “re-vamped” version with fall just around the corner.
Everyone I make this for always asks for the “secret” taco soup recipe. I promise it’s super easy to make. If my husband can make this…YOU can too! ;)
Taco Soup
Ingredients
- 1 lb hamburger or turkery burger (You can leave out the meat as well)
- 2 TB taco seasoning more or less to taste
- 1 medium sweet onion, chopped finely
- 1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
- 1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1/2 orange or yellow bell pepper, chopped (optional)
- 1 15 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 15 ozcan kindey beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 15 oz can pinto or white beans, drained and rinsed (optional)
- 1 15 oz can corn
- 1 can rotel tomato's
- 1 15 oz can diced tomato's
- 1/4 cup salsa fresh is best
- 1 8oz can tomato sauce
Instructions
- Brown hamburger in a large pan. Add in onions, bell peppers and saute for a few minutes.
- Add in remaining ingredients and stir until combined. Let simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. You can add a little water if it starts getting too thick. You could also put this soup in a crock pot and let cook on low for several hours.
- Top with your favorite fix in's. Our favorites are sour cream and cheese. Serve with tortilla chips. Enjoy!
This soup is a great freezer meal. Allow the soup to cool and then place in a freezer Ziploc bag or container. It will stay good up to six months in the freezer.

That is soooo funny! I haven’t been to your website in a while, but I came back today because I wanted to pin your Taco soup recipe on Pintrest in my “Family Favorites” category. We LOVE this soup. I was expecting to have to search for it but there it was right at the top as today’s post! It must be a taco soup kind of day everywhere. :-) And we love to top this soup with diced avocados. Yum!

Made it tonight. I did all 3 beans, being that I am a vegetarian and was a little worried at first look. However, after letting it simmer the juices surrounded the vegetables and beans and it was tasty.
Jamielyn
I’m glad you enjoyed it! I’ve never tried it with out the meat, so I will have to next time and see how it is. Thanks for sharing!

We have another Taco Soup Recipe, similar to yours but with white corn and ranch dressing mix. (I’ll have to find a way to share it somewhere someday.) But my point here is that I make ours Vegetarian style. To “look” the role of meat I add lentils, about a cup cooked for each pound of hamburger called for. It looks the role of meat with it’s color and texture. My family loves it this way, and it works for other recipes as well.

Does anyone know about how many servings this makes? I’m trying to figure out the nutritional info from sparkpeople.com Thanks.
Jamielyn
It makes about 6-8 servings. Usually 8 for our family. Hope that helps.
