How to Make Taco Soup in a Slow Cooker
Cris here.
We found the original recipe for this soup in Slow Cooking All Year ‘Round. I did tweak it just a bit. We added some taco seasoning and I substituted one can of black beans for white chili beans. The result is a hearty Crock Pot Taco Soup that is perfect for a crowd or an easy weeknight dinner. We’ve even spooned it over a bed of lettuce to make a yummy taco salad from time to time!
Crock Pot Taco Soup Notes:
- This recipe was inspired by one found in Gooseberry Patch’s Slow Cooking All Year ‘Round.
- Since this recipe has a browning step, we love to use one of our stove top slow cooker models to brown the sausage in our crock and then transfer to the cooking unit– keeping it a true, one-pot dish. We also love our automatic stirring crock pot for most of our soups because it keeps those flavors all stirred up during cooking. However, any 5 to 6 qt slow cooker should work just fine for this recipe.
- All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline. Recipes should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.

Had to come back and give this a 5 star rating!!
So glad you guys enjoyed it, Kim!!
Mickey and Aunt Lou: The recipe for Taco Soup calls for 5 cups of water ??????? My 6 quart oval Crock Pot was filled to the brim with all the ingredients except the water. I scratched my head and put the lid on (without the water). This was delicious! Maybe you should revise this recipe to eliminate the “5 cups water” so other cooks won’t be confused too. Hint! Hint!
Hi Elaine-
I kept wondering why their soup was so much thicker than mine! We have had folks try it both ways and enjoy it so I’ve decided to just let people choose if they like it soupy or thicker. I will try to add a note to the recipe soon so folks will know for sure we’ve tried it both ways. 🙂
It’s in my crockpot now. As I had all of the necessary ingredients on hand it was very easy to put together! Cooking for one is a pain after years of cooking for five or more. I can freeze some for later and eat it for dinner or take it for lunch! Thank you, really enjoy your emails!
So glad to hear you enjoy the emails, Mickey! Hope you enjoy the dish!!
Looks good, the recipe says 5 cups of water. Is that correct?
Hi Mary-
My original recipe does have 5 cups of water, but I am pretty sure when Mikey and Aunt Lou made it they left out the water…and that explains why theirs looks so much thicker than it usually does when I make it! So I would say you could make it either way depending on your preference for thickness.
Love Taco Soup!! Pinning to try!!
