Everyone has a Taco Soup or a Spanish soup recipe! You know, the one you dump lots of beans, tomatoes, corns, olives, taco seasoning and Ranch Dressing Mix! Even though we all have a similar recipe, it never hurts to repost and remind everyone to make this soup and dig out the crockpot or the Instant Pot.
I made mine in my Instant Pot. If you haven’t taken the plunge and purchased an IP, I highly recommend it. They are a life saver for me many times, because you literally can cook a pot roast, soup or stocks in a third of the time it takes on the stovetop!

Easy Taco Soup Recipe!
This recipe really is easy. All you do is brown ground beef, add onions and cook trhough, then add a bunch of canned ingredients and the taco seasoning and ranch dressing mix! It is really good too! I think the toppings just make it! I love to add sour cream, fresh cilantro , cheddar cheese, and fresh jalapenos if you like. Start with tortilla chips on the bottom of your bowl, ladle the soup in, then add your favorite toppings! Voila! All done!
For an added treat, my jalapeno Cornbread is a perfect addition to this meal. Here’s the link for my Jalapeno Cornbread: https://the2spoons.com/easy-spicy-jalapeno-cornbread/ or https://the2spoons.com/easy-delicious-jalapeno-cornbread/.
