Spicy Taco Soup

01.19.17

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

The 2nd of our crock pot cooking series is another favorite… Spicy Taco Soup! This soup will write a tale of it’s own!  On one hit you taste all the spices that come together in a unique blend and on the other you will get a mouthful of different textures coming from the various ingredients topped off with the melted cheese.  Oh man!

The wonderful thing about this soup is that you can play around with it and you can add other vegetables, more spices and play with a variety of cheeses to top it off! Go crazy!!!

On the  “grocery list”, I deliberately left out the variety of beans to use cause the possibilities are endless. You can add kidney beans, pinto beans, or no beans.  But my favorite soup beans are ones that my daughter just introduced me to…chili beans with chili sauce.  Oh man!  How did I go all these years overlooking these lil darlin’s?

With the addition of the ranch dressing mix there really isn’t a need to add any additional spices but at Casa GCC- the mister loves spices (hence, why he married a Latina!) lol

So I add about 1-2 teaspoons of chipotle seasoning, (Penzey),  for a bit of a kick!  *Give it a try!  Not too spicy, just a robust – swift kick!

Food Prepping:

Brown the meat the day before to save you time, especially if you’re rushing out the door the morning of scheduled meal. This will make several batches. When I make ours, my husband and I enjoy it and then we have about 4 containers for leftovers that I divvy up and then put snack backs with the crushed chips and cheese. Then you have some “grab n go” meals for your lunch!

I’m all about it! And I love being able to be a part of the fun. This lil man turned 6. He was #1, the first to make me a Mimzy and help me realize a dream of being a g-ma!

Little did I know my future would involve making a “chicken” birthday shirt and I about thought I wouldn’t have time to finish it for the BIG DAY. Now that this one is complete, I need to talk the soon to be 4 year old that he needs to decide on his birthday shirt. Don’t want to be rushing and I don’t do well with the stress of deadlines anymore. (Things you start to appreciate in retirement mode!) But I sure do love being able to be around for special moments and celebrations like these. Is there anything sweeter? Love my babies❣️

Sunday dinner consisted of a baked chicken Parmesan casserole I made up and fresh bread! The 3 year old, (aka in- house) food critic, devoured his oil dipped 🥖 bread! I certainly had my fill. Is there anything better than warm -homemade bread?
