    Our easy Taco soup recipe is a staple at our house. It can be thrown together in five minutes using mostly cans you have in your pantry, it's healthy, and the whole family loves it.

    Easy Taco Soup Recipe

    One of my favorite family recipes of all time (especially when I'm trying to eat healthy) is this yummy taco soup. I got it from a friend shortly after I got married fifteen years ago and it has been a favorite ever since.

    Any recipe that can be thrown together in literally five minutes, is filling, delicious, healthy, and my kids will eat it, is an automatic win in my book.

    If you love soup like we do you also need to check out our easy lasagna soup or our copycat Zuppa Toscana. Or you can check out a round up of all our favorite soup recipes here.

    I love to make a big batch for dinner on Sunday and eat it for lunches throughout the week. Whoever wants to can add chips and cheese and yummy toppings. When I am counting macros I will usually add a big scoop of plain greek yogurt and a couple tablespoons of chip strips.

    Either way it is super satisfying and delicious.

    Taco Soup Quick and Easy

    Keep reading for tips and tricks, or jump straight to the recipe and video tutorial below.

    Pro Tips: 

    • I have started buying pre chopped frozen onions at the grocery store and love them. They work great in this easy taco soup recipe. Seriously such a time saver and they still have a great flavor. I've been using them in tons of recipes lately.
    • Taco soup freezes well for up to six months. Freeze right after cooking, before adding toppings, in an airtight container. 
    • I love recipes that are easily adapted and customizable. This is one of those recipes. If you need to substitute a different type of bean or veggie, go for it.
    • Our favorite toppings include: cheese, sour cream or greek yogurt, chip strips, guacamole or avocado and cilantro.

    • Start by cooking your hamburger and onions together.
