This taco soup is great on a cold winter day and is a delicious alternative to chili. It can be made in a large slow-cooker or on the stove in a large Dutch oven/stockpot. It's very easy to make and serves a small crowd. Great for game day or your Cinco de Mayo celebration, too!

How To Make t's taco soup

Add the drained meat to either a large Dutch oven/soup pot or a large slow cooker.
Step 3

Add all remaining ingredients; stir well to combine.

For the slow cooker, cover and cook for 3 hours on high or 6 hours on low. For a stockpot or Dutch oven, bring to boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 45 minutes or up to 3 hours.
