Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground beef (or ground turkey)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced (or substitute 1 teaspoon garlic powder)
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 28 ounce can crushed tomatoes (undrained)
  • 4 ounce can diced green chiles
  • 15 ounce can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
  • 15 ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 17 ounce can corn, drained
  • 2 cups low-sodium beef broth

Toppings

  • Tortilla chips or Fritos
  • Sour cream
  • Shredded cheese
  • Chopped green onions
  • Chopped avocado
  • Hot sauce
  • Fresh cilantro

Instructions

  1. Brown the Meat: Heat a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the lean ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Remove any excess grease to keep the soup light.
  2. Add Seasonings and Ingredients: Stir in the minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, oregano, paprika, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the meat in spices.
  3. Combine Soup Base: Pour in the crushed tomatoes with their juices, diced green chiles, kidney beans, black beans, corn, and low-sodium beef broth. Stir everything together until evenly combined.
  4. Simmer the Soup: Bring the mixture to a low boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to let the flavors meld and the soup thicken slightly.
  5. Serve with Toppings: Ladle the hot taco soup into bowls and garnish with your favorite toppings such as tortilla chips, sour cream, shredded cheese, chopped green onions, avocado, hot sauce, and fresh cilantro.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner version.
  • Adjust the chili powder and hot sauce quantities according to your spice preference.
  • This soup can be made in advance and reheated; flavor improves after resting.
  • For a vegetarian option, omit meat and use vegetable broth.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
