This is a great recipe! First of all, it tastes wonderful. Secondly, the ingredients can be changed up and substituted as needed. I’ve used pork sausage and ground turkey instead of the ground beef. I’ve used chicken broth instead of beef broth. Often, I find that I don’t have any tomatoes and green chilis and I throw in salsa instead. I’ve even used a can of chili beans in sauce instead of the kidney beans.
The recipe makes a very big batch of soup. It’s enough for my family of 6 to have two dinners and a lunch. Sometimes I put the leftovers in the crockpot to heat for our second day of soup. (A whole recipe is too much for the crockpot.) The soup freezes well too, if you want to save it for another time.
Taco Soup

- 1 can Diced Tomatoes
- 1 15 oz can Tomato Sauce
- 1 can Beef Broth
- 2 packages of Taco Seasoning
- 2-3 cups of Water
Instructions
- Brown the meat and onion together. I like to rinse the hamburger under very hot water to get rid of the extra fat.
