    Sunday mornings have become my time during the week, where I prep all my food for the week. This week, I made Egg and Sausage muffins for breakfast and this taco soup to take for lunch.  I'll stick the egg muffins in the fridge and place two in little baggies, so all I have to do at work is heat them up in the microwave. Same with the soup.

    Slow Cooker Taco Soup

    Low Sodium Taco Soup

    The soup can get salty depending on ingredients you buy. I have to watch my sodium intake because I have high blood pressure.

    If you have high blood pressure and want to lower the sodium content try this.

    Use a Salt Free or Low Sodium Ranch Seasoning Mix and Taco Seasoning. Look for Taco seasoning packets that say 25% sodium or low sodium on them. You can also make your own Taco Seasoning at home.

    For canned ingredients look for ones that say no salt added or low sodium canned beans at the grocery store.

    Many comments below say that this soup is salty but if you use these tips for reducing the sodium content it will help for sure.

    Instant Pot Taco Soup

    If you're looking to make this soup in the Instant Pot you can! Use the Saute feature to cook the onions and ground beef. Once that is done cooking switch to Pressure Cook mode and the time to 20 minutes. Let the pressure slowly release after it's done cooking.

    How to make Taco Soup 

    You can print off the full recipe below. 

    1. In a medium skillet cook the onions and ground beef over medium heat.  Drain any excess fat. 
    2. Add ground beef mixture and all other ingredients to the slow cooker.
    3. Cook on High for 4 hours or Low for 6 hours.
    4. Garnish with sour cream and cheddar cheese.
    5. Instant Pot: Use the Saute feature to cook the onions and ground beef. Drain any fat.  Add the rest of the ingredients into the Instant Pot. 
    6. Once that is done cooking switch to Pressure Cook mode and the time to 20 minutes. Let the pressure slowly release after it's done cooking. 
    7. Serving size: 1 cup.

      Hi Jenna, will I have to make any measurement adjustments if I’m using a 4-quart crockpot instead of a 6-quart?

      This soup was So Delicious! I added a can of kidney beans with the black beans and replaced the meat suggested with shredded chicken. I'm SO glad I made a big pot, it gave me enough to add two more meals to the freezer.
