- 1 can corn, drained
- 1 can black beans, drained
- 1 can diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 cup water
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
Instructions

- Sprinkle the taco seasoning packet over the meat and vegetables, stirring to coat evenly.
- Pour in the drained corn, black beans, diced tomatoes with green chilies, and water. Stir to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
- Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, allowing flavors to meld together.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. The soup should be thick and hearty with a rich, spicy flavor.
- Serve hot in bowls, optionally topped with shredded cheese, sour cream, or fresh cilantro.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, chop your onion and bell pepper the night before and store them in the fridge. This way, you can jump straight into cooking when you're ready!
- Customize Your Heat: If you like a little extra kick, consider adding diced jalapeños or a splash of hot sauce to the soup. Adjust the taco seasoning to your taste for a milder or spicier flavor.
- Make It Creamy: For a richer soup, stir in a dollop of cream cheese or sour cream right before serving. This will add a creamy texture that complements the spices beautifully.
- Toppings Galore: Elevate your Taco Soup by offering a variety of toppings such as shredded cheese, avocado, fresh cilantro, or tortilla strips. Let everyone customize their bowl for a fun dining experience!
- Leftover Magic: This soup stores well in the fridge for up to three days and can also be frozen for up to three months. Just reheat on the stove or in the microwave for a quick meal later on.
