Can I use a Crock Pot?

Yes! After browning the meat and onions, add everything except the corn to a slow cooker and stir well. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours.

Can I make this Soup Vegetarian?

Yes! Just omit the meat and use vegetable broth or water in place of chicken or beef broth.

You may need to add more beans and an additional can of diced tomatoes to make up the volume.

Adjust the seasonings to your taste, especially if using water in place of broth.

Garnishes Make this Soup Even Better!

Corn tortillas, corn chips, and cornbread are tasty additions to your taco soup.

Some other garnishes you can use are cilantro, shredded cheddar cheese, diced onion, sour cream, sliced jalapeños, avocado, lime wedges, or whatever you like!
