I love a good soup, especially in the chilly months, but honestly sometimes I don’t have the time to simmer a broth all day. Sometimes I just want to throw everything in and get dinner on the table fast. My taco soup recipe does just that! With all the right seasonings it’s the perfect soup for “taco Tuesday” on a cold day.
The Taco Soup Recipe
Although the ingredient list seems long, the only prep work is chopping the onion, mincing the garlic, opening the cans, and rinsing the beans. These are the ingredients you will need.
- 1 lb of ground beef
- Tbsp oil
- 1 onion
