Oh yes 🌮🥣 — Taco Soup is like a taco exploded into a cozy, spicy, and hearty soup bowl. Super easy, flavorful, and perfect for meal prep or game day.
Easy Taco Soup

Pro Tips
- Extra spice: Add diced jalapeño or chili flakes.
- Richer flavor: Brown meat with a little smoked paprika or cumin first.
- Thicker soup: Mash some beans before adding or simmer longer.
- Make ahead: Soup tastes even better the next day.
If you want, I can give a slow-cooker taco soup, a creamy version, or a loaded nacho-style taco soup next.
Do you want me to do that?
