Slow Cooker Taco Soup

Updated 8/24/24

Winter is the perfect time for a warm, filling soup. Today we’re making slow cooker taco soup which is a tasty treat any time of year, but a great one for winter get-togethers.  Serve with tortilla chips, a salad, and  your dinner is ready. Put it on and 3 hours later you are ready to eat.

I use a low-fat (7%) ground beef, but you can substitute ground turkey or even pinto beans for a vegan version.   Canned beans with their liquid gives the soup great flavor when you add tomatoes, corn, chilies, taco seasoning,  onion, and bell pepper. You can find my recipe for taco seasoning here.  I’m also adding coconut cream for amazing flavor and creaminess. I do suggest you look for BPA-free cans  when you shop. BPA is a chemical that can leach from can linings into food. BPA has been linked to reproductive problems and cancer in animal and human studies.
