10 Minutes of prep is all you need for this Slow Cooker Creamy Taco Soup! It’s incredibly delicious and ideal for busy weeknights.
Ingredients You’ll Need
- Ground beef.
- Yellow onion.
- Garlic.
- Taco seasoning. (I love the Siete taco seasoning, and used the spicy for this recipe!)
- Black beans.
- Pinto beans.
- Diced green chiles.
- Fire roasted diced tomatoes.
- Corn. I used frozen corn, however canned corn would work as well.
- Zucchini squash.
- Chicken broth. Vegetable broth would work as well.
- Salt and pepper.
- Cream cheese. If you are dairy free, you could try the Kite Hill Foods Dairy Free cream cheese or omit all together.
- Lime Juice. Freshly squeezed lime juice is always best!
- Cilantro.
- Toppings of choice! (avocado, tortilla chips, jalapeno, cilantro, cheese, sour cream, salsa, etc)
Why you’ll love this soup
- 10 Minutes of prep is all you need! There’s truly nothing better than setting aside 10-15 minutes to prepare in the morning, and coming home to dinner ready to enjoy! All you will need to do is stir in the cream cheese a little bit before serving. Easy peasy.
- Hearty and healthy— this taco soup is filled with grass-fed ground beef, fiber-rich beans, green chiles, tomatoes, corn, zucchini for extra veggies, and taco seasoning. It’s filling and so delicious.
- Leftovers are great! Who doesn’t love being able to reach in the fridge the next day to quickly heat up lunch? This soup is perfect for meal prep and lasts in the fridge for 3-4 days.
- Customizable. If you would prefer using ground turkey or shredded chicken, go right ahead. Just keep in mind ground turkey tends to be more bland than ground beef so season accordingly. You could also add any additional veggies that you have on hand!
- Low Carb and Gluten Free. This soup is very low carb if that is your thing and also gluten free. You could make it dairy free by subbing a dairy free cream cheese or leaving it out all together.
