This is a soup that my Mom made for us as kids, and I make for mine pretty regularly. It can be prepared and then left in the Crock Pot to simmer all day, or you can just let it sit on the stove top to simmer for about an hour. Either way, you will be pleased with the hearty dinner this creates. My kids all give it a thumbs up.
5 thumbs up.
That is a blessing.
Plain and simple.
This soup is wonderful with my Corn Bread recipe.
Makes me feel like fall.
Fall….in 90 degree weather.
1. Grab your ground beef, chop up your onion and put them into a hot skillet. Sprinkle a bit of salt and pepper over the top and let the meat brown up and the onions get nice and soft.
2. Place your canned tomatoes in a blender and blend them up, nice and pretty like.
3. Add all ingredients but the toppings to your crock pot, or to a large soup pot if you are planning on letting it simmer on the stove.
4. For the crock pot cook on high for 5 hours, for the stove top let it come to a boil, reduce heat to medium low and let it simmer for 1 hour.
Serve with tortilla chips, sour cream and cheddar cheese.

Recipe from my mom Pam Willahan
Yum! Thanks for our dinner idea tonight. I love Taco Soup. We used to make it with ground beef but it tastes just as good (if not better IMHO) without the beef. Also, we get the large containers of Taco Seasoning from Costco. Love that! Can't wait to try the cornbread too. Have yet to find a moist recipe. Looks delish! 😛
Looks fantastic, thanks for sharing
I was just thinking last night about searching for a crock pot taco soup recipe today, and voila – you posted one. Fantastic. I can't wait to give it a try.

I love taco soup! Made some 2 nights ago and we're eating the last of it tonight.
I love taco soup! I'm having a hard time thinking it's fall,because it has been in the high 80's low 90's here,too. I wish I would have known, I wouldn't have rushed to buy my kid's school pants quite so soon! At least the garden is still producing!
I've never put maple syrup in mine, will have to give that a try. Sounds yummy. I do chicken though since the hubby doesn't like ground beef. Thanks for sharing. The cornbread looks so yummy and would be wonderful with some butter and honey on top – my fav.
What a delicious looking bowlful of soup. Plus, I could never resist a piece of cornbread.
i loove taco soup!!! i use paula deens recipe but yours is looking delish.
I love taco soup. I used Paula Deans recipe, she adds one can of drained black olives, one jar of drained green olives and a packet of ranch dressing mix. I really think the ranch is the key.
Never made taco soup but I have been seeing a lot of it around the blogosphere.. This sounds like a great recipe!!
