Becky says
Made it tonight and it was delicious! I did add a little extra taco seasoning and used a box of beef broth instead of a can so it would be more “soupy”. Loved by the whole family.
Heidi says
That sounds delicious… and I’m so glad to hear your family loved it, Becky!
Charles Lampert says
How msny calories are there in a cup.
mary says
I loveb this soup!! It so great! I love to share this my neighbors & adult kids of mine. I also add frozen mix vegetables to mine! Love it! Thank you so much for this recipe!
Heidi says
Aww ~ you’re very welcome, Mary! I’m so glad to hear you and your neighbors are enjoying the soup!
Jennifer says
I make this time and time again. My family loves it. My kids only like pinto beans so I don’t use any other beans. Thanks
Heidi says
I’m so glad to hear everyone loves the Taco Soup, Jennifer! I like how customizable it is to your family’s tastes, too! 😉 There are so many little tweaks you can make to it, to suit their needs.
Amanda says
This is one of our favorite cold weather recipes! It’s so delicious…I wouldn’t change a thing! 🙂
Heidi says
Thanks for the sweet comment, Amanda… so glad to hear you enjoyed the Taco Soup! I agree… it’s the perfect dinner for a cold night!
Mrs. Case says
Anybody know the nutrition facts for this recipe? Calories? Protein? I used 80/20 ground chuck but drained the fat off really well.
Glori Johnson says
I have made a different version of this for many years now, and it is an all time favorite. I have always used chicken broth instead of the beef broth and still use the ground beef. I also put two cans of corn in it, one yellow and one white corn. I use pinto beans instead of kidney beans, I only use the can of Rotel and not the can of diced tomatoes. I don’t use the garlic salt or salt. With all the can ingredients I don’t drain any of them, it helps having the extra liquid and gives the soup more flavor. When I got the recipe many years ago from a co-worker she used pinto beans and kidney beans, and instead of the white corn she put in hominy. I really don’t care for kidney beans or hominy so that is why I switched it up with the black beans and white corn. There are many possibilities of changing this wonderful soup to your taste, it’s just so versatile.
Heidi says
That sounds like a delicious version as well, Glori! Thanks so much for sharing! 🙂
Alyssa says
Does this freeze well? And if so, how long is it good for in the freezer?
Heidi says
Hi Alyssa ~ I haven’t personally tried freezing this one, but here’s what one reader who made it said: “It was great! I dumped all the ingredients into a gallon freezer bag, then thawed it the night before I put it in the crockpot. I turned the crockpot on low and when I got home 10 hours later it was ready!” Hope that helps!
Jennifer says
I made this and loved it!! I just bought the ingredients to make it again and want to double it.. Do I have to adjust the cook time and I have a 6 quart crock, will it fit??
Christina says
I want to make this but with chicken ..should I change the beef broth with chicken broth ?
Heidi says
Hi Christina ~ here’s a recipe for a Chicken version… ENJOY! 🙂
https://thefrugalgirls.com/2015/02/crockpot-chicken-tortilla-soup-recipe.html
Roberta says
Looking forward to trying this! Quick question – has anyone ever done this with ground turkey? Any input? Thanks for sharing!
Heidi says
Hi Roberta ~ I haven’t tried it yet with Ground Turkey, but it should work just as well. If you try it, let us know how it turns out!
Kris says
I have used ground turkey and it is great!
Cren says
Have you used it with ground turkey instead? Just wondering how it tasted! I’m sure ground beef is delicious but I have a wedding coming up I gotta get ready for 🙂
Angel says
I made the taco soup last night. It was really good. My husband said it reminded him of chili. Either way it was yummy, yummy, yummy. Thank you for posting such easy recipes. Tonight we are going to try the orange chicken. I’m pretty excited
Heidi says
It does have some similarities to chili… I love how thick and hearty it is. So glad you both liked it and are enjoying the easy recipes, Angel! 🙂
Jayne says
My boyfriend made this for us the other night. He substituted the beef with chicken breast. He marinated the chicken in taco seasoning and used chicken broth instead of beef. Absolutely delicious!
Heidi says
I make a similar version with chicken, too… SO delicious! So glad you liked it, Jayne!
Christine says
I made this soup a few days ago as an alternative to my usual vegetables soup. My husband and I loved it! The only adjustment I made was to sauté one medium diced onion instead of using onion powder. Perfect for a cold day. Thanks for the recipe.
Heidi says
So glad you both loved it, Christine! Yes… it’s super delicious with sauteed onions, too!
Antonia says
Just finished putting everything in the crock pot. Patiently waiting for a delicious lunch on a 28° chilly day. Thanks for the recipe!
Heidi says
Aww ~ you’re very welcome, Antonia… nothing beats a yummy, hot soup on a chilly day! ENJOY! 🙂
Tara Leigh says
How many servings does this recipe make? I just received a new crock pot for Christmas, but it is a small one (4 quart) and I’m cooking for only one or two. Please respond, I’m at the very least the third person to ask this question, and I really want to try this.
Heidi says
Hi Tara ~ this makes a big batch and serves approx. 8 – 10. I typically cook in my 5.5 quart or 7 quart Crock Pot, due to the size of the recipe. Hope that helps! 🙂
Krislyn says
Hello Heidi!
If I am doubling the recipe, should I cook this longer? I’ve made this many times and everyone LOVES IT! ❤️
-Krislyn
Heidi says
Hi Krislyn ~ I’m so glad to hear you all love the Taco Soup! If doubling the recipe, you’ll definitely want to extend the cook time. Just keep an eye on it, and stir occasionally so that big batch heats up evenly. When the entire batch is evenly heated and all hot, it’s ready to serve! 🙂
Liese says
My family isn’t big on beans, could do 1 can & get away with it, what can I substitute for that second can?
Heidi says
Hi Liese ~ if your family isn’t big on beans, you could just leave out 1 can altogether, and it should be just fine. 😉 ENJOY!!
Melissa Clark says
This is hands down the greatest soup I’ve made in a long time. Different from what I’m used to. I am in heaven. It is just so tasty. I didn’t think using just one can of everything would make enough soup, but I used one can of everything, and it made plenty of soup. I topped it with the Fritos and the sour cream and the onion because I had no scallion. It is simply amazing. Thank you!!
Heidi says
Hi Melissa ~ thanks so much for the sweet comment… I’m so glad you loved the soup!! 🙂
Diane says
Looks delicious. How many servings does this yield? Needed to calculate WW points value. Thanks.
Heidi says
Hi Diane ~ it serves approx. 8 – 10. Hope that helps! 🙂
Samantha says
Do you know how many WW points it is? Or where the nutrition is? I made it for dinner (didn’t really care about points – just curious! 🙂 )
Chelsea says
For the taco soup recipe can I cook the meat in the crockpot with the other ingredients and not have to brown it first? Would it taste the same?
shelby says
I wouldn’t do this simply because of the grease in the meat!
shelby says
To make things easy for recipes like this, I buy my hamburger meat in bulk at sams club and cook and freeze it in one pound bags as soon as I get home. So it makes taco, soup, and sloppy Joe nights a breeze!
Kylie says
How many servings does this yield? Thanks!
Heidi says
Hi Kylie ~ it serves approx. 8 – 10. ENJOY! 🙂
Camie Throneberry says
Making this for a weekday meal–hopefully it will freeze well–I don’t see why it wouldn’t–the smell is awesome!!!!!
Heidi says
Hi Camie ~ I actually haven’t tried freezing this one yet, but if you do… let me know how it turns out!
Millie says
Yes ladies, this meal does freeze well. My high school senior took it out one morning on her way to school so her and friends can eat it up, after school.
Kim says
I tried this taco soup tonight and it was amazing! My husband loved it, too! We will definitely make this again.
Heidi says
So glad you both loved it, Kim! Isn’t it so simple and delicious? 🙂
Robbin says
Question for you – I love crock pot recipes because I can set them, go to work and come home to a ready made meal. However, most of your recipes call for intervention after 3 hours and I am gone much longer than that. Do you know if these recipes will work if you put in all of the ingredients on low for 8 hours?? 🙂 thanks!
Heidi says
Hi Robbin ~ if cooking on LOW, you can typically just double the cook time that a recipe calls for when cooked on HIGH. So if it cooks for 4 hours on HIGH, you’ll often be able to cook for 8 hours on LOW. Every Crock Pot cooks somewhat differently, so you’ll just want to keep an eye on them at the end. Hope that helps! 🙂
AmyJo says
Went and bought everything for the taco soup got it crock pot now can’t wait for it to get done! Thanks!
Heidi says
Aww ~ you’re very welcome, AmyJo… it’s so simple and delicious. Enjoy your soup!!
Jo says
Thank you for the recipes.
Heidi says
You’re very welcome, Jo… ENJOY! 😉
