    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.

    Why You Will Love This Recipe

    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.

    Ingredients Needed

    Ingredients needed for slow cooker taco soup.

    🌟 Recipe Tip: When you're at the grocery store look for canned foods that say low sodium on them. There are low sodium taco seasoning packets out there as well. This will help save on the salt content tremendously!

    🌟 Recipe Tip: Make my own recipe for Low Sodium Taco Seasoning at home.

    • Ground beef 96/4 or lean ground turkey - Lean ground beef is considered better than higher fat options for several reasons. First, it has less saturated fat, which can contribute to heart disease and other health issues. Additionally, it tends to have fewer calories per serving, making it a good option for those watching their weight. The 96% lean ground beef from Aldi is my favorite.
    • Onions - diced yellow onions
    • Low Sodium Ranch Dressing Mix  - such as Mrs. Dash
    • Low Sodium Taco Seasoning - Is a blend of spices used to flavor ground beef or other meats for use in tacos. It typically includes a combination of chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and sometimes salt and pepper
    • Low Sodium Chicken Broth - Some brands make no salt added chicken broth, extra bonus if you can find that.
    • Tomato Sauce -Is a pantry staple in many kitchens and adds a delicious burst of flavor to any meal.
    • Diced Tomatoes with Chiles
    • Black Beans, drained
    • Corn, drained - can be frozen or canned
    • Extra Toppings: Tortilla chips, sour cream, and cheddar cheese

    How to make Taco Soup 

    Step 1: In a medium skillet cook the onions and ground beef over medium heat.  Drain any excess fat.

    Step 2: Add ground beef mixture and all other ingredients to the slow cooker. Cook on High for 4 hours or Low for 6 hours.

    Recipe Tips: Garnish with sour cream, cilantro, scallions, and cheddar cheese.

    If you can't find certain low sodium products that is ok. Just go with whatever you have. I shop at Aldi quite a bit and I think just subbing even a few ingredients with low sodium products will help the salt content in this soup.

    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. 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. 

    Serving size: 1 cup. 

    Recipe FAQS

    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.

    What Instant Pot do I have?

    Instant Pot   - Electric Pressure Cooker, Slow Cooker, Rice Cooker, Steamer, Sauté, Yogurt Maker, Warmer & Sterilizer, 6 Quart, Stainless Steel/Black

    • *if you use a packet of taco seasoning that isn't low sodium this Will BE salty.
    • I use WW recipe builder to figure out points and not by nutrition info. The nutrition info doesn't calculate zero point foods correctly.

      Always use the recipe builder. The nutrition info calculator doesn't count the zero point right.

      When I actually build the recipe in WW it is 2. If I use the nutrition info to calculate it is 7. Like the recipe builder better lol. I did use turkey.

      Can depend on a lot of factors like the type of protein you use or points per brand name will vary as well. The points listed in the notes section includes the lean ground beef for protein.

      I'm still learning about the new WW. I am on the Blue Plan. When I build this recipe on the app it tells me that it is 7 points per cup. Does that sound right? Most of the ingredients are zero point foods. I know you don't represent WW - just curious what you guys think? Thanks so much!
