Toppings for taco soup
Taco Soup is all concerning the toppings. You can’t skip the toppings.
Let me repeat – you can not skip the toppings!!! You might omit one of many toppings. Leaving out two is absolutely pushing my boundaries…. ?
However let me clarify – I’m not being troublesome, it’s what this recipe is! The soup itself is gorgeous, don’t get me unsuitable. It’s seasoned sufficient that you just’d wish to eat it plain.
However in all honesty, when you add the toppings…. woah. That’s when this Taco Soup goes from yum to Can’t-Cease-Consuming-It-Scrumptious. THAT is whenever you will say “OMG! The place has this been all my life!”
A pinch of grated cheese plus bitter cream or yoghurt is my absolute backside line, ideally with some recent coriander/cilantro leaves. That is the best way I serve it more often than not.
However after I wish to go all out, I add a handful of corn chips for dunking/scooping together with just a few crushed to sprinkle over the floor actually takes it to the following stage. If you do that, it completely makes it irresistible. Assume – the flavour of crispy taco shells in soup kind. Nachos – in soup kind.

Ingredients
- 1 tsp EACH garlic powder, onion powder and cayenne pepper
- 2 tsp EACH dried oregano and paprika
- 2 1/2 tsp cumin powder
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves , minced
- 1 onion , finely chopped (brown or yellow)
- 500 g / 1 lb ground beef (mince), lean
- 400 g/ 14 oz can black beans (1 can) , drained and rinsed (Note 2)
- 400g / 14oz can corn kernels (1 can) , drained and rinsed
- 120 g / 4.5 oz canned green chili (Note 3)
- 800 g / 28 oz canned crushed tomato
- 2 cups beef broth

- Sour cream or yoghurt (essential!)
- Fresh coriander/cilantro leaves or shallots/scallions , finely sliced

Instructions
- Heat oil in a pot over medium high heat. Add garlic and onion, cook until softened (3 min).

- Add remaining Soup ingredients and Taco Seasoning. Bring to a simmer then turn heat down to medium.
- Simmer for 10 minutes to bring the flavours together. Adjust thickness with water if desired.
- This is how I like to serve it: place a handful of corn chips in the bowl. Ladle in soup. Top with sour cream, cheese, coriander and a few crushed corn chips. For a healthier option, skip the corn chips in the bowl and/or serve more on the top / side of the soup.
Notes
1. Can be substituted with 1 packet of store bought taco seasoning.
2. Can be substituted with any other beans of choice.
3. Canned green chillis are widely available in the US but are not sold in Australia. I brought back loads the last time I was in the US! They aren’t spicy, they just have chili flavour with some smokiness. If you are in Australia, just leave it out.
4. Nutrition excludes toppings because I cannot be held responsible for how much you load it up! Nutrition is per serving (5 servings).
