Easy Taco Soup Recipe (2024)

posted August 22, 2012 by Julie // 20 Comments »

Mexican food is one of my favorite types of foods so when I foundthisrecipe, I knew I had to try it. It’s been about 2 years since I first made this soup and it’s become a household favorite. The boyfriend loves it; I love it. It’s a simple meal that’s rather cheap to make and it goes a long way. To me, it has a similar taste to chili but I think it tastes much better. There’s something about taco seasoning that makes mytaste-budshappy. I hope this recipe will make your taste-buds happy as well.

    My taco soup lately has seemed too intense…really strong. I notice that you only use a few tsps of taco seasoning, where my recipe used nearly an entire packet. I'm thinking that's my problem and am going to try yours. Thanks for sharing!

    Beer is not gluten free. You can buy special beer made without gluten, however, I don’t think the kind in this recipe is.
