This 8 can taco soup has only 1 step and takes only 15 minutes, but it tastes like a Mexican soup that’s been simmering all day! This is one of our favorite soups, especially since it’s made from all canned pantry ingredients.

Why This Soup Is So Good

  • This loaded taco soup has all your favorite Southwestern flavors, but is so effortless to make with pantry staples!
  • Cans of corn, beans, tomatoes, chilis, and chicken flavored with a package of taco seasoning make a zesty, family-friendly dinner or lunch. It only takes one step to make!
  • This soup only takes about 15 minutes to cook, which is perfect for weeknight dinners or just when you don’t feel like spending an hour cooking.

How To Make It

  1. Combine all the ingredients in a medium saucepan over medium heat and stir well to combine. Let the soup simmer for 15-20 minutes. There should be a few bubbles, but not a boil.
  2. Serve topped with garnishes (see below for ideas).

Chef’s Tips

  • We love our soup topped with tortilla strips or chips, diced avocado, sour cream or plain yogurt, cheese, cilantro, and/or sliced jalapeño.
  • To make this recipe vegetarian, simply leave out the chicken and substitute the cream of chicken soup for cream of mushroom.
  • You can also make this soup in a Crockpot or slow cooker. Just mix all the ingredients together and cook on low for 4 hours or on high for 1-2 hours.

    I love this recipe! Because I did not have pinto beans or cream of chicken soup on hand, I substituted those ingredients with Trappey’s jalapeno navy beans and HEB’s cream of jalapeno soup. These substitutions did not make it too spicy, however I am from Texas and am used to a little kick in my Mexican food! It tastes great!5 stars
