Equipment
  • 1 Slow cooker
  • 1 Large skillet
Ingredients
  
  • 2 lbs ground beef or lean ground beef/ground turkey
  • 2 cups diced onions
  • 2 15 1/2 ounce cans of pinto beans
  • 1 15 1/2 ounce can red kidney beans
  • 1 15 1/2 ounce can whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 14 1/2 ounce can Mexican-style stewed tomatoes
  • 1 14 1/2 ounce can diced tomatoes
  • 1 14 1/2 ounce can tomatoes with chiles
  • 1 packet of taco seasoning 1 1/4 ounces
  • Optional: corn chips shredded cheese, and sour cream for toppings
Instructions
 
  • Brown the meat: In a large skillet, cook the ground beef and onions over medium heat until the beef is browned and crumbly.
    If you prefer, you can use ground turkey instead of ground beef.
  • Drain excess fat: Once the meat is cooked, drain off any excess fat.
    This is important for achieving the desired consistency in the soup.
  • Mix the ingredients: Transfer the browned beef and onions to your slow cooker or large stockpot.
    Then, add the beans, corn, and all the different tomato varieties.
    Add in the packet of taco seasoning and mix everything well to combine.
  • Cook the soup: If using a slow cooker, set it to low and cook for 6-8 hours, allowing all the flavors to meld together.
    If you don't have a slow cooker, you can cook the soup on the stovetop: simmer on low heat, covered, for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
  • Taste and adjust: Check the soup for seasoning and adjust to your liking.
    If the soup is too thick, you can add up to a cup of water to reach your desired consistency.
    This is also a great time to taste the soup and adjust any ingredients to suit your taste buds.
  • Serve and enjoy: When the soup is ready, ladle it into bowls and serve with corn chips, shredded cheese, and sour cream if you like.
    This simple, straightforward recipe will help you make a flavorful and satisfying Paula Deen Taco Soup in no time.
    Bon appétit!
