Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Heat a large pot over medium. Add beef or turkey and break it up as it cooks. Drain excess grease completely for a cleaner-tasting Taco Soup.
- Stir in garlic, spices, tomatoes, green chiles, beans, corn, and broth. Mix well and bring to a gentle boil.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring a few times so nothing sticks. Taste and adjust salt, cumin, or chili powder.
- Ladle into bowls and pile on toppings.
Instant Pot Instructions
- Sauté to brown the meat, then drain. Add all ingredients plus 1/2 cup extra broth for pressure cooking.
- Seal and cook on High pressure for 3 minutes. Natural release for 15 minutes, then quick release and season to taste.
Slow Cooker Instructions
- Brown meat on the stovetop and drain. Add meat and remaining ingredients to the slow cooker.
- Cook on Low for 4 to 6 hours. Stir, taste, and serve with toppings.

Notes
Use ground turkey, chicken, or plant-based crumbles. Swap beans or tomatoes: pinto, fire-roasted, or Rotel. Use 2 to 3 tbsp taco seasoning instead of spices. Fresh garlic tastes brighter than powder, but both work.
