How To Make Pioneer Woman 8 Can Taco Soup

Recipe Tips
- How to make it heartier? For a non-vegetarian version, brown 1 pound of ground beef or turkey with a chopped onion, drain the fat, and add it to the pot along with the canned ingredients.
- How to make it creamy? For a creamy version, stir in 4-8 ounces of cubed cream cheese or Velveeta at the end of the cooking time until it’s completely melted.
- Can I adjust the spice level? This soup is very mild. To make it spicier, you can use a “hot” taco seasoning packet, add a pinch of cayenne pepper, or stir in a finely diced jalapeño.
- What if I don’t have all the beans? This recipe is very forgiving. If you don’t have one type of bean, you can simply substitute it with another can of whatever you do have on hand.
What To Serve With 8 Can Taco Soup
