Taco Soup Recipe

Reviewed on Mar. 27, 2012 by Steponme

I did make some modifications, so I cannot give it 5 stars. I only used 1 can of corn (drained) and tomatoes, I used 2 packets of taco seasoning (1 spicey and 1 low sodium). I did not use the flour tortillas; I felt the tortilla chips were enough. With those changes it made a good, quick weeknight meal.

Very tasty. Just note, if you follow the directions exactly this comes out more like a stew but if you bring the pot to a boil before simmering you will end up with more liquid which will make it more soup-y.

Tried this recipe last night for dinner and it was delicious. I added about 1/2 tsp cumin, and 1/2 of a fairly large jalepeno pepper to spice it up some, as my taco seasoning was low salt which made it taste a little flat. I definitely will make this again, so fast and easy. Thanks!

My whole family and our friends enjoyed this satisfying meal! I doubled it and froze half for later.

We don't generally go for anything with pinto beans in it, but this was a hit! We usually cannot find the Ranch style beans here in the East, so I substituted plain pinto beans and added some tomato sauce.

Just made this tonight and was so good! (a little more soupy than what it shows = perfect!)

One addition we made was to top with sour cream and Mexican cheddar pepper jack cheese...we also used corn chips instead of tortilla

To the person (Travlnman02)who would NEVER make this soup because of the salt?? WHY review it? so silly to even make your statement, it is a good soup, sorry you can't figure out how to make it your own without being insulting.Reviews are to let people know what you thought of the taste. Not to let people know you are not going to make it..Silly, silly man.

I added minced red onion and 2 taco seasoning pkts for a little more flavor. This make ALOT! Next time I would probably cut in half, though it was nice to freeze for later use. I did not use this recipe as a soup, I used it as an appetizer. Served it in a crockpot with Scoops Tostios. The cheese in a small little dish to use if desired. The scoop is perfect to fill up and pop in your mouth...it was a BIG HIT!

This is one of our extended family's favorite recipes. It is good without the corn. We top with chopped green onions, grated cheese and sour cream. Yummy!

I would never make this recipe as it is given. Too much salt from processed foods. It might be something to pursue with fresh vegetables and chicken stock. I like the ingredients but not the canned items because of the salt. I don't see a need for flour tortillas with this dish especially since your already including corn tortillas in the bowl. Fresh homemade salsa on the top instead of cheese also sounds better to me and would add a little spice. I am also not a fan of packaged Taco Seasonings when you can use fresh seasonings instead.

OK.....For most people, the sodium content would be high, but this seems to be an easy recipe to amend to your own particular needs and tastes. Some of us, however, have, or live with, people with HIGH sodium needs, so it's a bonus when we find recipes like this! It's like a vacation for our salt shaker!

After making this I add crumbled corn chips, place it in casserole dish, put cheddar cheese on top and bake it until cheese is browned. Makes a great dish and you can make it ahead except for browning the cheese

I make a Taco Soup with these ingredients plus I use the Ranch Style Beans with Jalapeno, 15 oz. White Hominy, 15 oz. Yellow Hominy, 15 oz. Black Beans, 15 oz. Pinto Beans, Low Sodium V8 juice, Low Soduim Veggie Broth, and extra chili powder. Drain and rinse the beans and hominy except the Ranch Style before adding to pot. It is great and freezes very well!

I have been making this soup for many years with the following additions: chopped onions cooked with the meat, 1 can of chopped green chiles, 1 can sliced olives, and sometimes I use chili beans for the beans. Excellent recipe....everyone loves it!

I would never make this recipe because the sodium content is way too high. However, I would do this instead. Use frozen corn, and beans in a package not canned. Eliminate the taco seasoning and just add a heaping tablespoon of Chili Powder. This will reduce the sodium content considerably.

It's also very good with a small can of chopped green chilies.

1400mg sodium in ONE cup? Make your own seasoning and use no-salt added diced tomatoes, then maybe it would be acceptable.

the weight watcher's version was passed on to me with 1 can of Rotel, 1 can of corn, 1 can of pinto beans and additionally a pkg of ranch dressing mix. It's no longer soup but it can be served over tortilla chips (6 points w/lean ground beef) or lettuce (4 points w/lean ground beef).

I substituted two 21 ounce cans of Texas Ranchero Beans, because I couldn't find two 15 ounce cans, and the recipe turned out great, even with the additional quantity of beans. We thought it was very tasty and it will be a recipe we will make again!
