Quick and Easy Taco Soup Recipe

November 2, 2019 by Lisa Park + Leave a Comment

Quick and Easy Taco SoupThis is a quick and easy taco soup recipe that is yummy.

I love soups for dinner when it’s cold outside, and this quick and easy taco soup recipe is perfect to make for your family on a chilly day. It only takes about 20 minutes to make this easy taco soup recipe.

And it can be completed even faster if you keep already cooked ground beef in your freezer. I’ll take the ground beef out of my freezer, thaw it in the microwave and then put it in the pot with the rest of the ingredients.

WHAT DO YOU EAT WITH TACO SOUP?

For our family, we like to add tortilla chips or Fritos on top. We also like to add shredded cheese and sour cream.

If you want some ideas for sides, this simple and quick taco soup would taste great with sweet cornbread, light and fluffy homemade biscuits, or easy Spanish rice.

HOW LONG IS TACO SOUP GOOD FOR?

Taco soup with cooked ground beef, when properly stored in an airtight container, will last for 3-4 days in the refrigerator. If you plan to keep it longer than that, then you’ll want to freeze it (See below).

 

CAN YOU FREEZE TACO SOUP?

Yes, you can freeze taco soup. To freeze the soup, put it in airtight containers or re-sealable freezer bags. Label the soup with the date and put it in the freezer. One tip is to freeze the taco soup in individual portions so you can take it out and eat it for lunch. The taco soup should be good in the freezer for 2-3 months.

When you are ready to use the taco soup, pull it out of the freezer and thaw it in the fridge for a few days. You can then heat it up on the stove or in the microwave. You could also put the taco soup in a slow cooker on high for 2-3 hours to heat it up.

And here are some other meals that freeze well: 7 Make Ahead Freezer Meals

Add in the black beans, kidney beans, corn and diced tomatoes, and sprinkle in salt and pepper. I like to drain and rinse my black beans, and then with all the other cans, I add in the entire contents of the can including the liquid. Heat through and simmer for 5-10 minutes.

Serve the taco soup ground beef recipe with shredded cheese, sour cream and tortilla chips. We also like to add Fritos to the top of the soup in place of the tortilla chips. That’s it! So fast, easy, and yummy!

Here is one tip to budget for Christmas. Give chil Here is one tip to budget for Christmas. Give children gifts based on age. Because older children tend to want more expensive gifts than the younger siblings, try this budgeting method to determine how much to spend on each child.  First: Add together the ages of your kids.  Johnny, 5; Sally, 7; Joe, 12 = 24  Second: Divide the Christmas budget total for the kids by the sum of their ages. Let's say the Christmas budget is $500.  $500/24 = $20.83  I rounded it to $21 to make it easier to calculate   Third:Take the number from above and multiply each child's age.  $21 x 5 = $105
$21 x 7 = $147
$21 x 12 = $252  You would spend the amount of money above on each child for Christmas. What tips do you have to budget for Christmas? #christmasbudget #christmaspurchases #christmasspending
