If you’re familiar with my blog, then you might know that I have a deep love for all things tacos. Whether it’s my super popular Cilantro Lime Chicken Tacos or healthy and easy Taco Stuffed Sweet Potatoes, there is no shortage of taco recipes around here!

They are most definitely my favorite food, so it’s only fitting that I have an easy taco soup recipe to share with you on Belle of the Kitchen.

We love this recipe during the cooler “soup season” months, but it’s so easy to prepare that I make it year round.

It’s a family favorite and my kids love adding all of their favorite toppings to it, like shredded cheese, crushed tortilla chips, and a dollop of sour cream!

Ingredients for Slow Cooker Taco Soup

• Ground beef – I recommend using lean ground beef. You could also useground turkeyinstead.
• Onion and garlic – one medium yellow onion, diced, plus 2-3 cloves of minced garlic.
• Diced tomatoes– I like to use canned fire roasted tomatoes for extra flavor, but you could also useregular diced tomatoes or Rotel tomatoes.
• Canned beans – you will need twotypes of beans; one can of chili beans (kidney beanswith added spices) and onecan of black beans.
• Tomato sauce– one small eight ounce can is all you’ll need.
• Green chiles– I use canned dicedgreen chiles. I always use mild, but you could use medium or hot chiles depending on your spice preference.
• Corn – either frozen or canned corn (drained) will work.
• Taco seasoning mix– one (1 ounce)packet of taco seasoningis what you will use. You could also use 3 Tablespoons ofhomemade taco seasoning.
• Chicken broth– I recommend using low sodiumchicken brothto cut down on the salt.
