Easy Taco Soup
One of my favorite meals to make is Taco Soup. My husband, on the other hand, absolutely adores Tacos de Papa, which are essentially potato tacos.
It is such a fast and yummy recipe that you can enjoy all year round. I might make it more in the fall and winter because it is so warm and tastes extra delicious on a rainy or snowy day- but to be honest- I love making it in the spring and summer, too!
Not only is it filling with all the beans and meat- but it’s not an overly heavy meal that leaves you feeling over-stuffed. So it is perfect to eat all year round.
I have perfected this Taco Soup recipe over the years and through trial and error have figured out the perfect recipe.
My favorite thing about this soup is the brand of beans I use. I have found that using two cans of S&W Black Beans is the secret to sneaking in extra protein! I love that S&W Beans has been around for over 120 years and continues to have the highest standards in the industry. Being a choosy cook, I know that nobody does beans better and that is important to me when cooking for my family.
I love that I can pick between the Core, Less Sodium, or Organic black beans for this recipe. They all taste great and are wonderful options for any recipe that calls for black beans. You can find tons of amazing recipes that use beans on the S&W Beans Recipe Page.

This recipe is so easy that it takes me under 20 minutes to throw together. Because I use my crock-pot I can start it in the morning and have a great meal by dinner time.
Like I mentioned, I have worked hard to figure out the perfect quantities of this recipe and it gets rave reviews from anyone who eats it- including my two little girls!
Be sure to use the fresh tomatoes, homemade taco seasoning, cilantro and lime along with the beans and meat to ensure it reaches it full potential!
