Get ready to make a delicious dinner with this Slow Cooker Taco Soup!
It’s September! What does that mean? Fall is coming! It’s coming, friends. My favorite season! I can already smell the soups, chilies, stews simmering in the slow cookers and what else? PUMPKIN! My favorite. You have been warned!
Before we get to all that pumpkin, I wanted to share one of my favorite soups that we make frequently during the fall and winter months, Slow Cooker Taco Soup.
This soup is so simple using several canned ingredients, which makes it very frugal too! I also like to precook my ground beef and have it seasoned and ready to go in the freezer.
This way I can just toss the cooked meat in with the canned goods and let the slow cooker do all the work!
How to Make Slow Cooker Taco Soup
This time I decided to try Canned Corn instead of my typically frozen corn. I love that they have a no salt added so that I’m truly getting just the veggies and no extra stuff!
I noticed that many of their products are no salt added too. I have been buying several for my daughter as ‘finger foods’.
We like to serve ours with corn chips; however, my friend mentioned how good Doritos are with this. Then, I had that mouth watering urge to try Doritos with it.
I’ll be doing that next time I make these, can you imagine that cheesy goodness with taco soup? Yum!
Typically when I make this there should be enough for leftovers between my husband and I, but we are lucky to have leftovers! We both go through it so quickly that it’s rare to have leftovers.
The times that we do though I just put the soup in freezer safe storage and freeze the leftovers.
Then, when we get in a soup mood again, I can put that block of soup in the slow cooker and let it warm up and have soup all over again! Fabulous!
Happy Almost Fall!

Lindsey says
YUM!! Made this tonight, but substituted rotisserie chicken (already cooked at grocery… easy!!) for the beef, and it was great too!
Thanks for the recipe!
Kristy Still says
What a great idea! I’m going to try that too!
Marie says
I like the idea using rotisserie chicken… do you just put taco seasoning in your slow cooker with the rest of the ingredients?
Tara H says
I have to tell you that I pinned this just so when I make my menus that I wouldn’t forget about it. You see, I make a taco soup that’s very similar to this only I make it on the stove. Anyway, I made this one today (the only difference was my can of tomatoes had green chiles too). It was delicious! Seriously much better than the one I usually make. My boys usually complain about corn in stuff but they (all 5) ate it, corn and all! Thanks for a great recipe”
Kristy Still says
Yay! I am so glad you enjoyed it!
Jen says
I’m running short on time, would I be able to cook it on HIGH for 4 hrs instead of low for 6?
Kristy says
Yes it should be done after 3 on high.
Laura says
Should you drain the corn and black beans before adding to the crockpot?
Kristy says
I typically don’t drain mine, but you can if you want to. I just let the liquid add into the soup flavor.
Laura says
I ended up draining them since we think we might like the soup a bit thicker (hope it doesn’t detract too much from the amount of overall flavor though) but thanks for your quick reply!
Kristy says
I am sure it will work perfectly. I have done it both ways.
Megan says
I am out of canned tomatoes and it is freezing here in MN. Wondering if using salsa is okay instead….
Kristy says
I would think it would be fine. Sounds good to me!
Susan says
Is there somewhere I can see the nutrition information for this soup? Thank you for sharing the recipe!
Kristy Still says
I do not have the nutrition values for it but you can put it in My Fitness Pal to get them.
Susan says
Awesome!! That is exactly what I was going to use it for. Thank you!! Keep up the good work!
Victoria says
Excellent and easy…just what I needed. I happened to only have ground pork on hand but it worked just fine!
Kristy Still says
Yay! So glad you enjoyed it!
Liz Miller says
Sounds like something my “picky eater” Grandson would like. He doesn’t like chili but loves tacos! Thanks so much for the recipe.
Brittany says
I’m making this as we speak… We like our soup just a bit thicker, but still with liquid. I fear if I drain all cans and only use water, it’ll be too thick, but vise versa if I don’t drain any, too soupy. Ugh! What should I do? Lol
Kristy says
I would just cut the water down first to maybe 1/2 a cup, then if you think you want it more soupy, just gradually add more water.
