Taco Soup

My friends joke about how much soup I make and how much I love it.  It’s kinda my thing.  🙂  So don’t be surprised when this blog starts looking like a database of awesome soups…it’s going to happen!

Our low carb taco soup is so good I wanted to lick the bowl. It has all of the flavors of a taco in a comforting soup. Ground beef or turkey, taco seasoning, ranch dressing, garlic, corn, chili beans, and diced onion, bell pepper, and tomatoes. Just dump everything in the crock pot or on the stove top. You can freeze the extra for leftovers. Try this quicky, healthy keto taco soup recipe! #tacosoup #crockpot #lowcarbsoup #ketorecipe

Today’s is my momma’s Taco Soup.  It also appears in the Freezer Cooking post from yesterday, but I wanted to give you the recipe on its own so you can try it before you commit to having a bunch in your freezer.  So, here goes:

  2. Then, in the crockpot add 1 cup water, taco, and ranch seasonings to crockpot, and mix well.
  3. Add everything else including browned beef to the crockpot.
  4. Add additional water to your desired consistency (approx 3-4 cups). Cook on high 3-4 hours or low 6-8 hours.

STOVETOP

  2. Add 1 cup water, taco, and ranch seasonings, and mix well.

Once everyone is making their own taco seasoning, those carbs will come down some.  There are carby thickening agents (and a ton of sodium and other weird things) in the store-bought kind that are affecting the numbers.  I’m planning a seasoning post soon so we can stock your kitchen with healthier versions of the store-bought stuff.  Then we’ll update the macros in recipes like this.
