  8. Heather says:

    Going to try this out for my freezer group! bellesbazaar-heather.blogspot.com

  9. jessie says:

    Made this last week, and making it again tonight! It's a new family favorite.

  10. Erin says:

    We ate this tonight and it was delicious! I made it as a freezer meal a week ago and just dumped it in the crock pot today. Thanks!

  11. Orris Family says:

    We had this for dinner last night, and it was fantastic! My husband and I were very impressed with the flavors. I make my own taco seasoning, and the flavor of the other ingredients in the soup went along great! Thank you for the great recipe!

  12. sadie says:

    I made this last night, and it is so yummy and flavorful! I used grass-fed ground beef, and I calculated it to be 3.5 points per cup for anyone doing weight watchers. It would probably be very tasty with shredded chicken breast as well!

  13. Teresa Wright says:

    Approximately how many servings does this make?

  14. Cyd says:

    It makes about 8 servings.

  15. ChasaDee says:

    Can you leave out the green chilies?

  16. Cyd says:

    Sure, it should still taste fine!

  17. Joyce Jackson says:

    Thank you so much for this recipe. I have made it many times and it quickly became one of our favorites! It goes together really fast and disappears fast also.

  18. Jean says:

    I found your site from your cookbook. We tried the black bean taco soup tonight and everyone liked it. The book looks great and we hope to try more ideas from it.

  19. Sara says:

    Could I substitute frozen corn for canned, or would that make it too dry?

  20. maria says:

    I made it with frozen corn , I think that made it a little thicker .which was ok with me. Topped it with freshly grated pepper jack and sharp cheddar cheese and green onion. Used the leftovers for burritos the next day. Thank you!

  21. Tiffany Stradling says:

    Can you make this as a freezer meal without cooking it first? Just putting all the raw ingredients in a freezer bag, then cooking it in the crock pot later?

  22. Cyd says:

    You would need to cook your ground beef or turkey first. You can't throw that into the slow cooker raw.

  23. Alisson says:

    We LOVED this taco soup. Thank you so very much. Followed the recipe exactly and it turned out wonderful. My husband had issues limiting himself to one or two servings!

  24. Alisson says:

    Oh - and since we are clean eaters, I seasoned everything with my own homemade taco seasoning and didn't use the tortilla chips. Absolutely fabulous!

  25. The Wilderness Wife says:

    This soup sounds delicious. Definitely pinning this one.

  26. Lindsey says:

    We add ranch dressing powder to this... yummy!!

  27. Carol S says:

    Loved it! Used ground turkey and added a can of Ro-Tel original. DH and I both enjoyed it. Will definitely make again. Next time I will double it so there is some to freeze!

  28. rebecca.scholze says:

    My husband's new favorite meal! I followed the recipe and it was a great new take on a southwest chili (I'm only guessing since I'm from Wisconsin!). The flavors are great and it is a good way to incorporate vegetables into a meal. Would make a great enchilada filling.

  29. Amy N. says:

    I really enjoyed this and it was so easy to put together.....Definitely a keeper and it will come in handy on nights that you just don't have much time....I agree with rebecca, it would make a great enchilada filling....Good stuff! Thanks for the great recipe....

  30. Veronica says:

    I made this a few days ago. This was very yummy. It wasn't very soupy, more like a chili, but we loved it anyway. I will definitely make this again and will try freezing some for busy use during super busy weeks. Thank you!

  31. Sarah says:

    Could you sub a can of hominy for the corn?

  32. Cyd says:

    Hominy should work as a sub for the corn. This soup is a good recipe to make substitutions or add any ingredients that you like.

  33. Lala says:

    Do you drain the tomatoes before adding?

  34. Cyd says:

    Do not drain the tomatoes.

  35. Eileen says:

    All the ingredients are already cooked so why cook them for 25 minutes in instant pot? Also do you set the instant pot on less normal or more. I am new to instant pot and have already over cooked pork loin and a roast So dry! Recipes hardly ever tell you what temp to cook them at. They say 25 mins a lb , some say 17 mins a lb but what less , normal or more!

  36. Allie says:

    I’ve been making this soup for years. It DOES freeze well and it is forgiving if you need to sub an ingredients. It’s amazing made as written but occasionally I am missing something from the pantry and have to improvise. It’s a keeper for sure. My kids even like it.

  37. Linda says:

    I want to make this and use Rotel tomatoes. Thank you

  38. N. Miller says:

    Is a serving 1/2 cup or 1 cup? Also, how many calories, carbs and fat per serving? Please, no metric measurements. Thank you.

  39. Cyd says:

  40. Becky says:
