Nani's Simple Taco Soup
This hearty taco soup is a cozy family favorite that tastes just like a taco in a bowl.
recipesbynani.comThere is nothing quite like a big pot of taco soup on a chilly evening. It is one of those meals that comes together quickly, yet it tastes like it has been simmering on the stove for hours.
My grandkids always ask for extra cheese and crushed tortilla chips on top of theirs. My best tip is to use a mild salsa if you have little ones at home, but feel free to turn up the heat with some extra chili powder if you like a little kick.
🧺 Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed

Drain any excess fat from the pot.

💡 Tips
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days. This soup actually tastes even better the next day after the flavors have had time to settle. You can also freeze individual portions for an easy lunch later in the month.
