Slow Cooker Taco Soup
Slow Cooker Taco Soup is made with ground beef, black beans, and corn, slow-cooked in a Crock Pot until it is packed full of southwest flavor.
Slow Cooker Taco Soup
This Slow Cooker Taco Soup recipe was one of my grandma’s favorite easy dinners, and she used to make it all the time. The broth is flavored with ranch dressing and taco mix, and combined with tomatoes, black beans, and corn, so it has a Tex-Mex flavor.
Bonus, we make it in the slow cooker so we can throw all of the ingredients in a Crock Pot in the morning and have a delicious taco soup at the end of the day.

Toppings for Slow Cooker Taco Soup
This soup smells so good while it is cooking! I love that spicy tex-mex smell. When it is ready you can ladle it into some bowls and garnish it with anything you like. Some of my favorites are:
- Jalapenos
- Black olives
- Sour cream
- Shredded cheese
- Pico de Gallo
- Cilantro
- Squeeze of lime juice
Don’t forget the tortilla chips! I like to scoop my soup up with them, or if I’m feeling lazy, I crumble them into the soup like tasty tortilla croutons.
