  • Reviews

  • “I made this recipe for a family the other day, thought the kids would really like it.Just did it on the stove and couldn’t believe how easy it was – and how yummy! I only added one can of beans, and it seemed like enough for them.I made it last night for my husband and I – and he just absolutely loved it!It is sort of like chili – but not.It really is a taco in a bowl. We put the corn chips on the bottom and then topped the soup with cheese and sour cream.It is very filling and satisfying – and so easy and delicious – all the right ingredients.Next time I will try it in the crockpot!”

  • “**** 1/2 Stars.Super simple to make. Very tasty and filling…I have three kids they all loved it (though one is of the opinion we are just tricking her to eat chili — but she still ate all she was served).We like to top it with pleanty of cheese, sour cream and cilantro and serve with tortilla chips. We substitute a can of ‘Ro-tel’-like Meexican style tomatoes in place of the can of diced tomatoes and the can of chilis, and like to use two cans of kidney and one can of black beans. I also like to throw in several sprigs of cilantro near the last hour or two of cooking. We’ve had this 3 or 4 times in the past month since first making it and made it one of our ‘regulars’.”

  • “Super easy to make and more like a stew/chili type than a soup, very thick and hearty.I did add more stewed tomatoes and served over crushed fritos with a sprinkle of cheese and dab of sour cream on top.Very good, will make again.”

  • “Excellent soup…my sister-in-law made this for me and I couldn’t stop raving about it…this will be a keeper recipe in my house!”

  • “I liked this but got mixed reviews from the family.My daughter thought that it tasted too much like chili and said to just stick with my chili recipe.However, it was very simple and nice to have mixed up in the crock pot.”

  • “Made this for the first time and took it to a family gathering and everyone raved about it and wanted the recipe.This was very easy to make and taste great I didn’t use the chiles (forgot) so i sliced up a jalopeno and it worked well.”

  • “This is so easy and excellent on a cold day!I have made it many times and passed the recipe on to friends.My kids like it, too, which is a huge telling factor of its goodness.I use taco seasoning mix (recipe #2642) and ranch dressing mix (recipe #47249).I also use frozen corn instead of canned.The beans I prefer are dark red kidney, black, and pinto.LOVE IT!”

  • “Very easy, very good!We substituted ground turkey for the beef, simmered it in the crock pot for a couple of hours and ate it with corn chips.Will definitely make again!”

  • “Excellent!I made this today and was so thrilled with the easy preparation, delicious taste and the fact that I had these things in my pantry!I was out of onions so I used dehydrated ones.Next time, I’ll use fresh ones but this still turned out great.I used 2 cans of garbanzo beans and one can of Navy beans.I also used yellow corn.Two thumbs up for this meal!”

  • “After reading some reviews, I really didn’t want it to taste too much like chili so I substituted shredded chicken for the ground beef, substituted enchilada sauce for tomato sauce and used black, pinto and kidney beans…..OMG YUMMMMMMMMMMY!We are making it again tonight!”

  • “This soup is very tasty with a dollop of sour cream on top.I’d only give it 3 stars without it.We used kidney beans, black beans, and pinto beans.Next time I’m going to try hominy instead of corn.Makes a bunch, and tastes even better the second day.”

  • “Kathy, Thanks for the recipe. I work construction commercially doing drywall finishing and sometimes, I’ll make Taco soup and bring itto the work site & my co-workers are happy campers when I do bring it. By the time I leave to go home, the crock pot (6 qt.) is empty. Thanks again for the recipe, Take care, Phil Anderson-Newburgh, Indiana”

  • “This is one of my top 10 recipes.It is easy and makes ALOT!I usually have all the ingredients in the pantry and can make it quickly.I can also convert to a vegetarian dish for my daughter by taking out the meat and adding another can of beans or removing a small portion for her before adding the meat.I follow the recipe exactly and it’s perfect!”

  • “This is my favorite pantry meal. I have made it a zillion times and will probably make it a zillion more. We top it with cheddar cheese, sour cream,and cilantro. Thank for sharing this recipe!”

  • “My kids rated this a five star recipe.DH and I were out of town on vacation and the kids prepared this meal.They loved it and the fact that they were able to make it themselves AND enjoyed it leads me to giveyou all five stars…..Thank you for sharing this winner of a recipe.”

  • “Yumm! I didn”t use any green chilies & I had to use dried beans (I pre-soaked) but it tasted great for dinner with corn chips.Thanks for sharing this simple recipe.”

  • “Quick and easy! Makes it look like Dad (me) is a good man in the kitchen.The rest of the family really likes this soup. Even tastes good with Morningstar Crumblers in place of the ground beef for the folks that are vegetarians.”

  • “This is a gr8 recipe!I used ground pork in place of grnd beef.I wld agree that it’s a smoke screen for a chili recipe tho.We enjoyed it, and, will look fwd to it throughout the Winter season.Thank you.”

  • “Oh my goodness how delicious is this soup!I love it and better yet it was super easy to make!I ended up using a 28 oz can of petite diced tomatoes without the chiles (didnt have the other) and used only 2 cans of beans (I used Cannellini beans ie white kidney beans) and used yellow corn taken right off of the cob.I browned the meat with the onions and then threw it all in the crockpot.I think it was done in probably 2 hours???Thanks for sharing!I am keeping this in my favorite files :)”

  • “Love this…a family favorite.I add a small can of green chilies and substitute a can of Ro Tel tomatoes to spice it up a bit.I have also made this with chicken instead of beef…just using the meat from a precooked grocery store rotisserie chicken.Either way, beef or chicken, it’s good and everyone seems to love it.”
