Quick and Easy Taco Soup
Canned tomatoes, green chilies, beans, corn and taco seasoning make this Taco soup packed full of flavor but quick and easy to throw together!
Ingredients
- 28 oz can tomato sauce (or can sub two 15oz cans)
- 10 oz can Rotel (diced tomatoes with green chilies)
- 4 oz can diced green chilies
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion finely diced
- 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic
- 1 pound ground beef or ground chicken
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 15 oz can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
- 15 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 8 oz frozen corn (or use one can, drained)
- 1/4 cup taco seasoning
- 2 Tbsp concentrated tomato paste (in a tube)
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 Tbsp sugar
Instructions
- Throw the tomato sauce, Rotel and green chilies in the blender and blend until smooth. Set aside.
- In a non-stick stock pot, sauté onions in the olive oil until soft and translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Add ground beef or chicken and the salt and pepper and break up into small pieces while browning until the meat is cooked through, (I like mine a little crispy.)
- Add the tomato blender mixture, beans, corn, taco seasoning, tomato paste, beef broth and sugar to the pot and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 30-40 minutes minimum, stirring frequently.
- Season with additional salt and pepper to taste as desired.
