Soup season is a favorite of mine, but I’m always looking for new ways to make it easy.

This quick and easy taco soup takes less than 30 minutes, and it’s perfect for busy weeknights! It’s also enjoyed by everyone—including kids!

Made in one pot for easy clean-up, this taco soup is the perfect thing to whip up when you don’t have a lot of time on your hands.

Top with cheese, avocado, and all the fixin’s. Enjoy!

What ingredients do I need to make this Easy One Pot Taco Soup?

  • Lean ground beef or turkey- I like to use 96% lean ground beef. It gives this soup a bit more flavor due to the fat content in beef vs. turkey. Keep in mind the point value may vary depending on which one you use and the fat content. You can use 99% ground turkey, if you have ground turkey as a zero point food item-and want to keep this soup low in points.
  • Kosher salt
  • Ground black pepper
  • Onion-diced 
  • Garlic– minced
  • Crushed tomatoes-canned not drained. 
  • Green chilies-diced 
  • Chili powder
  • Garlic powder 
  • Onion powder 
  • Dried oregano 
  • Paprika
  • Cumin
  • Black beans-canned and drained 
  • Corn kernels-frozen and thawed 
  • Low sodium beef broth

Optional toppings:

  • Shredded cheese 
  • Fat free sour cream or non fat plain Greek yogurt 
  • Fresh chopped cilantro leaves or scallions– finely sliced
  • Avocado- sliced
  • Lime juice

What other ingredients can I add to this Taco Soup?

  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 ( 15 oz.) can pinto beans, drained
