The Best Taco Soup

I know there are a lot of taco soup recipes out there, but in my opinion, this one is the best! I adapted it from my friend, Clare, after my kids raved about hers! It’s always a crowd-pleaser and tastes great as leftovers. I like to make it this pretty + functional oversized crockpot.

Ingredients ::

1.5 lbs ground beef

1 onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 14.5oz cans mild Rotel {our family isn’t into spicy!}

1 can petite diced tomatoes

1 packet taco seasoning

1 packet dry ranch dressing

1 qt. chicken broth

1 15oz. can pinto or great northern beans, rinsed

1 15oz. can black beans, drained

1 15oz. can kidney beans, drained

1 15oz. can corn, drained

Salt, to taste.

Directions ::

Sauté the chopped onion and garlic on stovetop. Add beef and brown. Add cooked meat/onions + all other ingredients to crock pot. Cook on low for 6-8 hours for optimal taste! I find that draining but not rinsing the beans gives the best flavor. Garnish with shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped avocado and tortilla chips.
