  • If using a slow cooker, cook on low for 3-4 hours. If cooking on the stovetop, bring to a simmer. Cook for 15-30 minutes. Once cooked taste and add salt and pepper, if desired.

Notes

Storage: Taco soup will last about 5 or so days in the fridge. If you plan to keep it longer than that, this soup freezes so well!
Freeze: I love to freeze this soup in individual portions so I can take one out for lunch or several out for a family meal. To freeze your soup, place it in freezer safe containers or resealable gallon-sized freezer bags. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw the soup in the fridge overnight, then reheat it on medium heat on the stove top. You can also reheat the soup for about 2 minutes in the microwave.
