A warm, comforting, and flavorful one-pot taco soup perfect for busy weeknights, ready in just 30 minutes with simple pantry ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound lean ground beef or ground turkey
  • 1 medium onion, diced (about 1 cup)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced (about 1 tablespoon)
  • 1 can black beans (15 oz), drained and rinsed
  • 1 can diced tomatoes (14.5 oz), fire-roasted preferred
  • 1 cup corn kernels (frozen or canned)
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped cilantro, sliced jalapeños, crushed tortilla chips

Instructions

  1. Heat a large pot over medium-high heat. Add ground beef or turkey and cook until no longer pink and starting to brown, about 5–6 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
  2. Add diced onion and minced garlic to the pot and sauté for 2–3 minutes until onions are translucent and fragrant.
  3. Sprinkle in taco seasoning, chili powder, and cumin. Stir well to coat the meat and onions evenly with the spices.
  4. Pour in beef broth, diced tomatoes with juice, black beans, and corn. Stir to combine.
  5. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Optional: Use an immersion blender to puree about 1 cup of soup in the pot for a thicker, creamier texture. Stir to combine.

Notes

[‘Brown the meat well to develop flavor and avoid a flat taste.’, ‘Use good quality beef broth for rich flavor; avoid water.’, ‘Season gradually and taste often to adjust spice levels.’, ‘Add canned beans toward the end to prevent mushiness.’, ‘Soup tastes better the next day as flavors meld.’, ‘Store leftovers in airtight containers for up to 4 days; reheat gently with a splash of broth.’, ‘Freeze soup base without toppings for meal prep; thaw overnight before reheating.’]
