Easy Southern Taco Soup Recipe: With the Bickhams

Hey Y’all! Welcome to “With the Bickhams” Blog!

Today, we’re diving deep into one of our family’s all-time favorite recipes – Taco Soup! Now, I know what you’re thinking, “Taco… Soup?” Trust me, once you’ve had a taste, you’ll be hooked. This dish came about one chilly evening (well, as chilly as it gets down here in South Mississippi) when we were craving something warm and hearty. We took the best parts of a taco and transformed it into a comforting bowl of soup. It’s been a hit in our household ever since, especially during those rare cool weather days.

Ingredients:

1. 2 to 2.5 lbs of 90/10 ground beef
2. 1 onion, chopped
3. 1 bag of frozen seasoning blend
4. 1/2 a bag of frozen onion and pepper blend
5. 2 cans of Rotel tomatoes
6. 1 can of diced tomatoes (your choice of flavor)
7. 1 can of kidney beans
8. 1 can of pinto beans
9. 1 can of black beans
10. 1 can of whole kernel corn
11. 1 can of tomato paste
12. 1 can of tomato sauce or Manwich/spaghetti sauce
13. 1 to 2 tablespoons of minced garlic
14. Seasoning to taste:

• 1 tablespoon granulated onion
• 1 tablespoon granulated garlic
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon dried parsley
• 2 teaspoons black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• Salt to taste (if needed)

15. 2 to 3 packets of taco seasoning
16. 1 packet of Lipton soup mix
17. 1 to 2 packets of dry Ranch dressing mix
18. 3 cups of beef broth

Instructions:

1. Start by browning the ground meat and vegetables together. We recommend using 90/10 ground beef. Cook until almost all of the liquid has evaporated.
2. Once browned, start adding in all of your canned foods one at a time.
3. Mix in your seasonings and all the packets.
4. Pour in the beef broth until the soup reaches your desired consistency. Remember, it’ll thin out a bit more as it simmers.
5. Bring the mixture to a boil while stirring.
6. Lower the heat to a simmer, cover, and let it cook for a couple of hours, stirring occasionally.
7. Serve with shredded cheese and sour cream. And if you’re feeling a little extra, pair it with some cornbread on the side.
