A comforting and robust crockpot taco soup featuring black beans, ground beef, and smoky spices, perfect for busy days and cozy dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 2 cans (15 oz each) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) fire-roasted diced tomatoes
  • 1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp taco seasoning
  • 2 cups low sodium beef broth
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, sliced jalapeños, fresh cilantro, crushed tortilla chips

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until no longer pink. Season with salt and pepper. Drain excess fat if desired.
  2. Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook until onions are translucent and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Transfer the beef mixture to a 6-quart crockpot. Add black beans, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and frozen corn.
  4. Stir in taco seasoning and beef broth. Mix well to combine.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3 hours.
  6. Around 5.5 hours (if cooking on low), stir and taste the soup. Adjust salt, pepper, or taco seasoning as needed. Add broth or water if soup is too thick.
  7. Ladle soup into bowls and top with desired garnishes such as shredded cheese, sour cream, jalapeños, or cilantro.

Notes

For chunkier soup, reserve some beans and corn to add in the last 30 minutes of cooking. A squeeze of fresh lime juice brightens the flavor. For vegetarian or vegan versions, omit ground beef and use vegetable broth with extra beans or plant-based crumbles. Use low sodium broth to control salt levels. Leftovers store well refrigerated up to 4 days or frozen up to 3 months.
