You can make this nutritious soup about as fast as you can open the cans. This is really, really tasty. I don't specify the can size, because it's really not crucial. Just dump the stuff together and enjoy. To keep it healthy, go easy on the garnishes and/or use healthier versions.

Avocado!!! You must add a couple of slices of avocado to each bowl of taco soup. I was going to make taco salad tonight, but taco soup sounds really good….& I’m going to try your recipe!
Oh, girl, you are right. That would be even better. I’ll edit the recipe to add that luscious garnish. 🙂
Love taco soup. Love taco soup. Whoever invented this deserves a huge hug. Yum.
I’ll try your recipe, too. It’s getting cold and this is the perfect time.
SueBee, I agree. It’s been a fairly recent addition to our menus, but we all enjoy it.
I will definitely try this out – I’m always looking for quick and tasty “emergency” dinner ideas . . .
Bryan! You’re a twitterdude? Who knew? Thanks for the RT! I must follow you!
For readers’ sake, Bryan was the best man at our wedding 25+ years ago. 🙂 So many stories I could tell…
Enjoy the soup!
I like the idea about the avocado garnish, I love avocado in anything resembling a Mexican inspired dish. I have never actually had Taco soup before, this is about as easy as it gets too.
Justin, try it out! We are going to have it tonight. Easy, healthy, yummy.
Don’t forget the hot sauce! I made this recipe and added a bit of my homemade jalapeno sauce and it tasted great. Thanks for the great recipe.
OK, Chris, you non-gringos will have to go there without me! Anything related to hot makes my head explode. 🙂 But I’ll add hot sauce to the recipe for you crazies! 😉
