In the Fall and cooler months I love to enjoy a hearty bowl of Taco Soup with tortilla chips, salsa, and sour cream on top. Just like I also adore a large plate of Taco Salad all summer long. They are just classic recipes I grew up loving and still make for my boys.

This recipe is so easy to make in under 30 minutes in the Instant Pot electric pressure cooker and of course can also be made in the Crock Pot Slow Cooker too.

With so many variations and substitutions you are sure to enjoy a recipe that you will love.

Shopping List Instant Pot Taco Soup

Ground Beef: I prefer a lean ground beef of 90/10

Vegetables: Corn, Tomatos, Chilies

Seasonings: Taco Seasoning or use a homemade blend

Broth: Beef Broth gives a rich flavor

Substitutions:

For healthier versions of Taco Soup try substituting Ground Turkey. Adding additional vegetables like bell peppers and additional flavor too. Try adding additional beans like black beans or pinto beans. Adding a diced jalapeno will give a nice bit of heat or choose a pepper with the heat index you prefer.

This soup is easily a heart soup for a thinner soup add additional broth. I also prefer to add broth when reheating.

How to make Taco Soup Instant Pot

Turn Instant Pot to Saute and wait until it reads hot. Add Olive Oil and ground hamburger to pot and saute breaking up ground beef into small pieces.

Dice vegetables and add to ground beef. Mix ingredients together using a wooden spook or silicone spatula.

Deglaze bottom of pot by adding some broth and scraping any stuck bits from the bottom liner. This is an important step and is easy to do.

Top with diced tomatoes, beans, corn and add remaining broth. Sprinkle taco seasoning on top and close lid. Set cooking time on the pressure cooker to high pressure for 5 minutes allowing a quick release when completed.

Open lid and stir ingredients together. It smells delicious. Add your favorite toppings and serve.

How to garnish Taco Soup

Some of my favorite ingredients to garnish Taco Soup with are

• Tortilla Chips
• Cilantro
• Avocado
• Cheese
• Sour Cream
• Dice Jalapeno
• Hot Sauce

The key to a delicious soup is a long slow simmer allowing all the natural flavors of the fresh ingredients to meld together perfectly. Plus your house smells amazing and gets you all excited for dinner to come.

But that is not always possible which is why I LOVE my Instant Pot. When cooking with an electric pressure cooker, you can achieve the same fantastic flavors of a slow simmer without the long cooking time.

Favorite Pressure Cookers

I own 4 Electric Pressure Cookers, all of which are 6qt. I prefer the 6qt size. To me it's not about how big my family is or how many I'm feeding. The size of the 6qt is ideal for me and how I use it. When recommending an Electric Pressure Cooker I suggest making sure you purchase the size best for you and your needs. I also recommend the Yogurt Button. One of my favorite features and not for making yogurt either.

Use code DEVOURDINNER for $10.00 off your purchase of a Mealthy Multipot or Mealthy CrispLid. Two products I love and use regularly. I also use Instant Pot Duo and Duo Plus.

This recipe can be gluten free and taco soup calories are also low too. Which makes this recipe ideal for so many meal plans.

Can I freeze Taco Soup

Taco Soup can be frozen for up to 3 months. Place soup on counter to thaw at room temperature for 1 hour and heat on medium heat until warm.

Try freezing soup and other leftovers in SouperCubes a silicone tray with a sturdy lid. Items are easily removed from container. I have been using these trays for meal prep and to freeze leftovers and I love them. They come in different sizes to fit your needs.
