Slow Cooker Taco Soup great comfort food recipe

This Slow Cooker Taco Soup recipe was one of my grandma's favorite easy dinners, and she used to make it all the time. The broth is flavored with ranch dressing and taco mix, and combined with tomatoes, black beans, and corn, so it has a Tex-Mex flavor.

Bonus, we make it in a Crock Pot so we can throw all of the ingredients into it in the morning and have a bowl of delicious comfort food at the end of the day.

What You'll Need

80/20 Ground beef
Onion diced
Ranch Dressing Mix (Recipe to make your own HERE)
Taco Seasoning (Recipe to make your own HERE)
Chicken Broth
Tomato Sauce
Diced Tomatoes with Green Chiles
Black Beans canned
Corn

There are no hard and fast rules on what to add to this recipe so if you don't like black beans and you prefer pinto beans, or kidney beans, then go for it.

How to Make It:

The only stovetop cooking you have to do is browning the ground beef with some diced onions. Then all of the ingredients are poured into the slow cooker and you set it to cook for 4 hours on HIGH or 8 hours on LOW.

Slow Cooker Taco Soup is an easy winter soup recipe

Toppings:

This soup smells so good while it is cooking! I love that spicy tex-mex smell. When it is ready you can ladle it into some bowls and garnish it with anything you like. Some of my favorites are:

Jalapenos
Black olives
Sour cream
Shredded cheese
Pico de Gallo
Green onions
Cilantro
Squeeze of lime juice

Don't forget the tortilla chips! I like to scoop my soup up with them, or if I'm feeling lazy, I crumble them into the soup like tasty tortilla croutons.

Can I Use Another Ground Meat?

Yes, you can use lean ground beef, ground turkey or chicken if you prefer.

Can I Make This in My Instant Pot (Electric Pressure Cooker)?

You can make this recipe in your Instant Pot and we've already done the recipe conversion for you. Just check out our Pressure Cooker Taco Soup.

Can You Freeze Taco Soup?

Yes! You can freeze it before cooking or after. Prepare your ground beef by browning it, add all of the other ingredients and then pour them all into a gallon freeze bag, or any other freezer-safe container that can be sealed. You can do this before you cook your soup or after it has been cooked.

When you're ready to eat it remove it from the freezer and place it in the refrigerator to thaw for 24 hours. If it was not cooked before freezing pour it into your slow cooker and follow the instructions in the recipe below. If you have cooked it you can heat it up in the microwave, on the stove top, or in your Crock Pot.
