What is taco soup?

Taco Soup is just what it sounds like.  It is a soup made up of ingredients you might commonly find in a taco – ground beef, onions, tomatoes, beans, corn and chilies. It is seasoned with similar seasonings used in taco meat as well.

Taco soup is similar to chili, but what really makes it extra delicious is the garnishes!  I love to load up this soup with tortilla strips – or regular tortilla chips will work too – avocado, cheese, lime juice, cilantro, chopped onion and sour cream. Whatever you like to put on tacos – put it on this soup!

What I love about this soup is it is made almost entirely with pantry and freezer staples. This is a great dinner for nights you aren’t sure what to make and you haven’t been grocery shopping for awhile.  I keep most of these ingredients on hand at all times, so I can throw together this recipe without having to plan ahead.

Is Taco Soup Healthy?

This Taco Soup is loaded with fiber and protein, which makes it a filling and satisfying meal.  It is also a great source of iron!  You can control the extra calories based on how you garnish the soup.

Eating soup is a great way to feel full and satisfied without eating too many calories.  You can also make this taco soup healthier by using ground turkey instead of beef.
