Of course, there are a million different ways to make different types of tacos. But imagine the easiest corn tortillas topped with seasoned ground beef, onions, and some garlic. Plus, all the toppings – the most important part.
This easy taco soup is just that in soup form. I’m a soup fanatic so this has all the flavors of easy homemade tacos and the convenience of a soup.
As the name suggests, this taco soup is super easy to make. You can customize it in a number of ways, most notably through the items you serve on top.
I love making homemade tortilla strips for this recipe (worth the effort!), but you can swap those out for store-bought tortilla chips instead if you’d like. Aside from that, my toppings include shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado, cilantro, and a little hot sauce.
Taco soup is made with onions, garlic, ground beef, spices (see recipe card below), beans, diced tomatoes, and broth. It reminds me of a soupy version of chili.
If you like this easy taco soup, you might also enjoy:
To make homemade tortilla strips, simply sear corn tortillas in a little olive oil in a pan over medium/high heat until the edges start to brown. I use a pizza cutter to quickly and easily cut the corn tortillas into strips before frying.
I generally use store-bought taco seasoning. But if you want to make your own, here’s a recipe.
