This Taco Soup is a hearty and flavorful meal that's perfect for chilly days. A combination of savory beef, beans, tomatoes, and spices make it a satisfying dish, and it’s customizable with various toppings.

Ingredients

16 ounces extra lean ground beef

1 yellow or red onion, diced

2 garlic cloves, minced

2 tablespoons taco seasoning divided (or two packets)

2 cups low sodium beef broth or stock

14.5 ounce diced or crushed tomatoes (fire roasted is particularly good in this recipe)

10.5 ounce RO*TEL Original Diced Tomatoes and Green Chilies

15 ounces kidney beans (1 can, rinsed and drained)

15 ounces pinto beans (1 can, rinsed and drained)

15 ounces yellow corn (1 can, drained)

Optional toppings: Pico de gallo, shredded cheese, sour cream, green onions, avocado, cilantro, tortilla chips or strips

Instructions

  1. Heat a Dutch oven or large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until just a little pink remains, stirring frequently.
  2. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, stirring occasionally. Drain any excess grease.
  3. Add the minced garlic and 1 tablespoon (or one packet) of taco seasoning. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring to avoid burning the garlic.
  4. Stir in the beef broth or stock, tomatoes, remaining taco seasoning, and the RO*TEL tomatoes. Bring the soup to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Once it boils, reduce the heat to medium.
  5. Add the drained kidney beans, pinto beans, and corn. Stir well and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for 10 to 15 minutes or until heated through.
  6. Serve the soup with your favorite toppings and enjoy!

Notes

  • Vegetarian Version: Replace the ground beef with a plant-based protein like lentils or crumbled tofu, or simply omit the meat and increase the beans and corn.
  • Spicy Version: Add a few dashes of hot sauce, jalapeños, or use spicy taco seasoning for an extra kick.
  • Creamy Version: Stir in some heavy cream or sour cream toward the end of cooking for a creamy texture.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten-free, just make sure the taco seasoning is gluten-free if needed.
