Taco Soup
This Taco Soup recipe is a very popular choice for an easy, family friendly dinner recipe.
If you’re looking for an easy recipe to make for a lot of people, consider this one. It’s the perfect sort of recipe to make for a big Super Bowl party or a large gathering of friends. Everyone loves a good comfort food dish, and that’s what this is! Although this taco soup recipe is titled a “soup,” it’s not really a soupy soup. It’s more like a thick chili that is adorned with some great toppings.
🛒 Ingredients Needed:

✏️ How to make Taco Soup:
*The complete, printable recipe is in the recipe card at the end of this post.
Brown the beef and turkey with the onions in a large skillet. Drain fat, then transfer cooked meat and onions to a large slow cooker (or stockpot). Add beans, corn, tomatoes, chiles, olives and seasonings; cook in slow cooker on low for 6 to 8 hours (or simmer on low heat for about 1 hour if using a pot on the stove).
To serve: sprinkle a few corn chips in the bottom of a bowl and ladle soup over them. Top with desired garnishes.
➡️ Tips and Substitutions:
Add some ground sweet Italian sausage into the mix, if you’d like!
You can change up the beans– using white beans or chili beans.
It’s okay to leave out the corn. Honestly, I wouldn’t mess with the rest of the ingredients though. The combination of everything just works in this recipe!
Fixings to serve with the soup (like corn chips) are not included in the nutritional information. If you happen to be following the Weight Watchers WW plan, make this recipe with ALL 99% lean ground turkey. You’ll find a link to the WW Points on the recipe card below.

❤️ What I love about this recipe:
It’s a super easy, perfect-for-Game-Day Taco Soup recipe. Just pile this “soup” on top of a good handful of Fritos. It’s so good!

Notes
If you are counting WW Points, use all lean ground turkey instead of beef and turkey.
Fixings to serve with the soup (like corn chips) are not included in the nutritional information.
This really isn’t technically a “soup.” It’s more like a thick chili-sort of dish and it’s fabulous over the corn chips- don’t leave those out!
Add sliced, black olives if you’d like (optional).
Consider other garnishes too: guacamole, chopped onions, lettuce, tomatoes, etc.
