It is time for soup my friends. And, taco soup is one of my family’s favorites. I usually make soups in the crockpot, but since getting my Instant Pot a couple of months ago… it’s taco soup in the instant pot from now on.

Taco Soup

It’s so quick and just like the slow cooker, just throw in the ingredients, and approximately an hour later the soup is ready to eat.

You can find more Instant Pot recipes I’ve been making and try them for yourself.

While it’s cooking I can do other things or nothing at all.

So simple.

So easy.

So quick.

Taco Tuesday Not Just For Tacos

I love making this taco soup recipe all year round, but in the fall and winter, I make it more often. I even sometimes make it for Taco Tuesday.

Who wants a bite?? This delicious, easy, and frugal Instant Pot Soup is healthy too!! Until you add all the extra sour cream, tortilla chips, and cheese (which I do when I have a bowl)!

Instructions

  1. Add all of your ingredients for the taco soup to the instant pot. Give it a good stir to make sure that everything is incorporated well.
