Taco soup is a definite winner for dinner time.  This meal can be made in 30 minutes.  The hardest part?  Cutting the onion.  This soup comes together super quick, it’s flavorful, it really does taste like tacos, and it’s perfect for the whole family.

How to make Taco Soup:

This recipe comes together in 30 minutes and in one pot. Which means that all the work takes place in one large pot, I typically use my dutch oven. First step is browning the ground beef and cooking up some onion.

Then add all the remaining ingredients to the pot. One of my favorite things about this recipe is that there is basically no prep work needed.  Not much slicing or dicing is needed.  And I can set one of the kids up with the can opener and most of the work is done!

Even though this recipe is written as a one pot meal, you can also cook this in your slow cooker (affiliate link), or Instant Pot.

To make this taco soup in the instant pot: set the instant pot to saute, add the ground beef and onion, cook until meat is browned. Drain the grease. Add the rest of the ingredients. Cook on high pressure for 10 minutes.
