Easy Taco Soup in 25 Minutes!!
This easy taco soup recipe can be made in just 25 minutes! Packed with flavor and simple ingredients, it’s the perfect meal for a busy weeknight.

I love quick and easy meals, especially for busy weeknights! Between everyone’s activities, I need things that are healthy and tasty! This taco soup definitely checked all of the boxes! I personally LOVED it! … and to think, I just whipped it up from some ingredients I had in the kitchen!
Ingredients
- ground beef – 85% – 90% fat is best!
- red onion – peeled and diced
- green pepper – deseeded and diced
- canned corn – whole kernel sweet corn
- canned lentils – using canned lentils helps speed up the cooking process – dried lentils would need to soak and take a longer time to cook
- canned diced tomatoes – I prefer petite diced tomatoes so you don’t have huge chunks of tomatoes
- taco seasoning – rather than buying the taco seasoning packets, you can purchase large seasoning containers of taco seasoning, or better yet, make your own with my homemade taco seasoning packet recipe
- chicken broth – canned or boxed, either broth works fine!
- cheddar cheese – I prefer finely shredded cheddar cheese. You could also do a Mexican or taco seasoned cheese if your local grocery store has it
- sour cream – full fat sour cream is best
- cilantro – fresh cilantro, washed and chopped
