Crock Pot Taco Soup

This Crock Pot Taco Soup is so easy to make. It is a simple meal your family will love.

There are many versions of taco soup out there. I have several that I have shared on my site already, but taco soup is one of those recipes I am always changing up to come up with new versions.

The version I am sharing today is a simple crock pot taco soup that I made recently. My whole family loved it, so I knew I had to share it with you all.

Years ago my sister made a taco soup that contained V-8 juice. It was an unusual ingredient, but was so good. I got the recipe from her and I have made it many times over the years. I know V-8 juice sounds a bit odd for a taco soup, but it adds so much flavor.

I recently used that basic idea of V-8 juice in a taco soup, to come up with a little different version than my sister’s recipe. It was delicious. I love the flavor the V-8 juice adds.

The rest of the ingredients for this are pretty simple, but the combination of everything together makes a delicious soup.

You can easily cook this all on the stove top for 20 minutes or so, but I love cooking it in my crock pot for several hours on low because it helps blend the flavors a little better. Either way though this is a delicious soup that I am sure will be on the menu plan often.
