This Slow Cooker Taco Soup would be perfect to serve on Game Day. Just make a big pot of it in your slow cooker and have a topping bar with sour cream, cheese, avocado, chips, or whatever else your favorite toppings for tacos might be. Post updated on 1/30/22 Sunday mornings have become my time during the week, where I prep all my food for the week. This week, I made Egg and Sausage muffins for breakfast and this taco soup to take for lunch. I’ll stick the egg muffins in the fridge and place two in little baggies, so all I have to do at work is heat them up in the microwave. Same with the soup.
Low Sodium Taco Soup
The soup can get salty depending on ingredients you buy. I have to watch my sodium intake because I have high blood pressure. If you have high blood pressure and want to lower the sodium content try this. Use a Salt Free or Low Sodium Ranch Seasoning Mix and Taco Seasoning. Look for Taco seasoning packets that say 25% sodium or low sodium on them. You can also make your own Taco Seasoning at home. For canned ingredients look for ones that say no salt added or low sodium canned beans at the grocery store. Many comments below say that this soup is salty but if you use these tips for reducing the sodium content it will help for sure.
Instant Pot Taco Soup
If you’re looking to make this soup in the Instant Pot you can! Use the Saute feature to cook the onions and ground beef. Once that is done cooking switch to Pressure Cook mode and the time to 20 minutes. Let the pressure slowly release after it’s done cooking.
