A Recipe: Taco Soup • Jessica Lynn Writes (2024)

If you’re looking for a quick, delicious, and healthy meal then look no further than this Taco Soup.

This is one of our favorite go-to meals and it’s perfect for cool fall nights, cold winter days, or any time you need a fast meal.

And since it’s a slow cooker meal, it’s also excellent when you really don’t want to bother with dinner—which, as a parent is basically everyday. Not to mention, it’s extremely flavorful and filling.

Its consistency is more like a chili, but for the sake of a cooler name, we call it Taco Soup.

Taco Soup Recipe

Think of this recipe as just a starting point. I’ve interchanged the ingredients with whatever I have on hand: black beans, pinto beans, ground turkey, etc. It also freezes really, really well, and it’s something great to take to parents with new babies, or anyone who needs a nice, home cooked meal.

When you make this, even if it’s a freezer meal, make sure you have the necessary toppings on hand when you’re ready to eat: tortilla chips that you can crush up or homemade tortillas, shredded cheddar cheese, green onions, and extra jalapenos if you so desire.

Tools to Help you Make Taco Soup

If you’re looking for an awesome slow cooker that can do all the things, this is the one I recommend. You can start your meal on the stove top (like this recipe), to brown meat, and then you can move it to the slow cooker stand and finish cooking your meal for however long you need it to cook.

Then, say you want to broil something on top, you can stick the Rockcrok under the broil setting. It’s a literal one-pot slow cooker meal, and it rocks my socks off.
