Instructions

  • Heat some oil in a large skillet or cast iron over medium-high heat. Once heated, add the ground beef, breaking it up and stirring for about 3-5 minutes or until browned. Remove this and set aside. 
  • Pour about 1-2 tablespoons of oil into the pan, then add chili pepper, cumin, garlic, jalapeno peppers, paprika, and oregano spice. Stir for about 30 seconds. 
  • Add the chopped onions and ground beef and continue cooking for about 3-5 minutes or until onions are soft. 
  • Finally, add in the tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, corn, green chili, rinsed black beans, beef broth, rinsed pinto beans, and taco seasoning. Bring it to a boil and let it cook on medium-low heat for 15 -20 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper and water to taste and desired soup consistency. 
  • Serve warm with the optional toppings.

Notes

  1. You can replace it with diced chicken breast to have Chicken Taco Soup.
  2. Replace the meat with kidney beans and swap broth with a plant-based broth for a Vegetarian Taco Soup.
  3. If using dried beans instead of the canned ones, make sure to soak them in water six to eight hours before you start cooking. 
  4. Please keep in mind that nutritional information is a rough estimate and can vary greatly based on products used.
