One-Pot Taco Soup (Protein-Packed and Super Satisfying)
Let’s taco ‘bout this slurp-worthy soup: it’s everything you love about tacos transformed into a wholesome and hearty soup format.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey or beef, 90 to 94% lean
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 (15-ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 (15-ounce) can corn, rinsed
- 1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes, quartered*
- 1 jalapeño, diced (optional)**
- 2 (1-ounce) packets taco seasoning mix, ~4 tablespoons total***
- 4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
Optional toppers:
- Cilantro
- Avocado
- Jalapeño
- Crushed taco shells
- Greek yogurt
- Shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Liberally mist a soup pot or a large, deep skillet with oil spray and warm over medium-high heat. Add the meat and onions and cook for 6-9 minutes, chopping with a wooden spoon or spatula to crumble the meat as it browns.
- Add the beans, corn, tomatoes, jalapeños and taco seasoning mix. Stir to combine. Add the broth and mix everything together. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for about five minutes or so until the soup is piping hot.
- Ladle into bowls and garnish with optional toppers!
Notes
*you can use a 15oz can diced tomatoes instead. If using canned, I recommend fire-roasted diced tomatoes.
**If adding jalapeños, remove seeds for less heat
*** I like things heavily seasoned and therefore use two (1-ounce each) packets of taco seasoning blend. That’s 4 tablespoons total. However, you may prefer a less intensely flavored soup. With that in mind, I recommend starting with one (1-ounce) packet of taco seasoning blend (2 tablespoons), tasting, and adding more as needed. You can also make your own using my DIY blend.
