Oh my gosh, we had the busiest day, you know what I’m talking about right? It has literally been SO CRAZY. Then got home, and everyone is tired… and cranky… and hungry!

We’ve all been there, right? I mean I love my recipe for Slow Cooker King Ranch Chicken Soup but what happens if you don’t plan ahead? Should I make Pressure Cooker Chicken Taco Soup or maybe Instant Pot Beef Taco Soup? But what if you don’t have a pressure cooker? Then you NEED this recipe, right?!!!

Oh my gosh, If you’re not sure what to make when you’re short on time, this is the soup for you!

I also love this recipe because it makes enough for leftovers! Can I get a heck yes?

Soup leftovers are the best because then I have lunch for a few days after that.

Warming up midday with a warm bowl of homemade Taco Soup is amazing on a cold winter day! So much flavor!

My kids love it when I send it to school is this awesome thermos and they have warm soup for lunch!

Easy Taco Soup Recipe

To make this Taco super easy make sure you have big dutch oven to make everything in!

I never know what the hype over a dutch oven was but ever since I bought one I use it all the time!

How do you make Taco Soup?

1. Chop the onion and mince the garlic.
2. Add the hamburger to a large pot on the stove. Brown the hamburger and onion.
3. Add the garlic and sauté for just a minute more. Drain grease.
4. Add the remaining ingredients and stir to combine. Bring to a boil.
5. Simmer for 20 minutes stirring occasionally.

The big bonus with this soup? It freezes GREAT and leftovers on day two? They taste even better, well… ahem… if you have leftovers that is! This is super tasty, I know you’ll love it!!
