I haven't always been a fan of soup, but this winter, soup just seems so delicious on a cold Winter day!  We had this Three Bean Taco Soup last night for dinner.  It's a bit spicy for the kids' tastes, but hubby and I love it!

Ingredients:

  • two pounds ground beef (I used lean longhorn beef)
  • one onion, diced
  • one can of pinto beans
  • one can of kidney beans
  • one can of black beans, rinsed and drained
  • one can of fire roasted tomatoes
  • one can of tomatoes with green chiles
  • four cups of water
  • ½ - one tablespoon chili powder (depending on how spicy you like it)
  • two teaspoons onion salt
  • one teaspoon garlic powder
  • one teaspoon cumin
  • one teaspoon sugar
  • one teaspoon oregano

longhorn meat

Directions:

  1. Brown meat and onions in a pan.  When fully cooked, drain the grease.
  2. Add in the rest of the ingredients - pinto beans, kidney beans, black beans, fire roasted tomatoes, tomatoes with green chiles, water, chili powder, onion salt, garlic powder, cumin, sugar, and oregano.
  3. Stir to mix well and cook on medium high for 30-45 minutes OR place in a slow cooker and cook on high for 6-8 hours on low.
  4. Serve!  Can be served with corn tortillas, corn tortilla chips, sour cream, diced avocado, cheese, jalapenos, etc.

  1. I had to take a second look because that looks almost exactly like our Taco soup. A few different ingredients... and no kidney beans... but similar. Looks delicious! I need to try your recipe next time.

    1. Do you have your recipe posted?  I love to compare different recipes, I could be leaving out a key ingredient!  🙂  Most taco soup recipes call for corn, but with DH's diet, corn wasn't allowed.  So, I added in more beans and just left the corn out.

  2. I made this and it is really good, though I did add some tomato juice and jalapenos. Also I used stewed tomatoes which were what I had on hand. I love beans and use them in everything I make. Great soup on a cool day 🙂

    1. I'm glad you liked it!  It's nice to have versatility like that, I'll keep your substitutions in mind!  Have a great day.
