How To Make Taco Soup Recipe (Quick Overview)
The steps below are just a quick overview of how to make the soup. The full process in detail is located in the recipe card at the end of the post.
This recipe is soup-er 😉 easy to make, so let’s get started!
Start by heating up a soup pot over medium heat and tossing in the ground beef. As it cooks, break it up into smaller pieces and let it brown completely. Once it’s cooked through, drain any extra fat.
Now, add all the remaining ingredients to the pot—except the salt, additional pepper, and any additional seasonings. (You’ll save those for later to customize the flavor to your exact preferences.)
Short on time? Replace all of the seasonings with 2 to 3 packets of taco seasoning.
Bring the soup to a gentle boil, turn it down to a simmer, and then let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, give it a taste test. This is your moment to adjust the flavors! Add salt, pepper, or any other seasonings you like until it’s just right. You can also add more beef broth if you prefer a brothier soup.
Serve it up and dig in! You can enjoy it plain or with some shredded cheese, sour cream, and tortilla chips. Enjoy!
If you live near an Aldi, I highly recommend looking for El Milagro tortilla chips. They aren’t stocked in every store, but if you can find them, they may just become your favorite tortilla chip. (They’re definitely mine!)
