This Creamy Taco Soup recipe is loaded with veggies, lean ground beef, and flavorful spices! It’s super easy to make and comes together perfectly in your slow cooker!
Taco soup is one of my favorite Fall recipes! And I know that you can make this soup year-round but eating this soup when the temperatures are cool and crisp, just makes it taste so much better!
Even though the temperatures aren’t extremely cool in Alabama, I still get excited when it drops to the low 60s lol! It puts me in a creative mood, so definitely expect more recipes coming your way!

And what makes this soup recipe so amazing is that everyone can customize their soup with a variety of toppings.
How to Make Slow Cooker Creamy Taco Soup
This soup is super simple to make. Start by browning the ground beef and drain any fat once it’s done. Next, add everything to the slow cooker, cover and cook on LOW for 6 – 7 hours, or cook on high for 3-4 hours.
If you like your soup spicy, add a little cayenne pepper or Cajun seasoning. Once the soup is done, top with avocado, sour cream, cilantro, or any of your favorite toppings.

This sounds like a great soup! But how do you a nutritional analysis WITHOUT a serving size!
Ooops! I fixed it!
Tried this recipe tonight. Flavors were on point, but the ratio of meat to everything else seemed a little off (my boyfriend loved it for this reason, but I plan on adding an extra can of beans next time). I am wondering if you accounted for an additional can of beans or something/what is making your macros off. If there are 2 lbs of beef and 8 servings, there should be at least 20g of protein per serving from beef alone.. just curious. Thank you for the new recipe, I will definitely make again with a few tweaks!
Thanks! The serving size is 1 & 1/2 cups.
Do you have instant pot directions???
I’ll have to update it with the instant pot instructions!
