CROCK POT TACO SOUP
I suppose in the winter time I crave soups more than any other time of year. What’s not to love? They are warm and comforting and just beg to be eaten with a bit of bread. This is one of those soups that are fun to make and eat. You can really dress this soup up however you like.

Just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your website!! Love all of your recipes!! I've made this before but this time I accidentally grabbed the spicy ranch dressing. Best mistake ever! Kicks up the spice a bit and that's what my fam loves! Thanks for all the great recipes! Blessings!
Sounds like a happy mistake! Glad it turned out well for you 🙂
Can I cook it on high for 4-6 hours? Will it turn out the same?
I add a can of green Chile enchilada sauce. Love your recipes!
Try adding sliced black olives . It really adds somthing to a great soup.
How many will this serve?

Super easy and delicious!
My family loved it, next time I add some. Jalapeño s
And bell pepper. My husband is a hunter, so
I substituted ground me for ground deer
burger!
Love it – thank you Julie! I get a lot of people asking which recipes work well with venison so I can add this to that list! 🙂
My entire family loves this so much! I also would like to know as Riley mentioned in her comment, can I cook on high for 4-6 hours and it taste the same? Thank you for this easy yet amazing recipe!
Made this and all I can say is…OMG it is something everybody has to try. I am not much of a taco person but decided to try this and so happy I did. Thank you????
I am so happy you tried it!! Thanks so much for coming back to comment Judie!
Can I make this with the bottled ranch dressing instead of the packet of ranch? I live in Nepal and all I can get here is the bottle of ranch
No – unfortunately that wouldn’t work. You can make your own ranch seasoning mix though! 🙂 https://www.thecountrycook.net/homemade-ranch-seasoning/
Can you do this faster in the instant pot??
You could. You’d need to brown the ground beef first. I haven’t tested it yet though so I couldn’t give you an exact time so it may need some experimenting. Perhaps 15 minutes on high pressure and maybe a natural release.
Taco Soup is one of my favorite soups. I use the dry Fiesta Ranch Dressing Mix instead of the regular Ranch Dressing Mix. I like the taste better.
Sounds delicious Janice! Great tip!
Could you just cook this on the stove after browning the ground beef? I mean since all the other ingredients are already cooked?
You sure could! Cooking it in the slow cooker just gives all those flavors time to really meld together and for the meat to soak up all the flavors too. But you could get the same taste by letting it simmer on low on the stove for an hour or two.
