Description

A quick and easy Instant Pot Taco Soup recipe, perfect for a weeknight meal. Packed with ground meat, beans, corn, and flavorful seasonings, this soup is sure to be a crowd-pleaser.


Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef or turkey
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can corn, drained
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chilies, undrained
  • 1 (1.25 ounce) packet taco seasoning
  • 1 (1 ounce) packet ranch seasoning mix (dry)
  • 3 cups beef or chicken broth
  • Optional toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, crushed tortilla chips, avocado


Instructions

  1. Set Instant Pot to ‘Sauté’ mode. Add ground beef/turkey and chopped onion. Cook, breaking up the meat, until browned. Drain any excess fat.
  2. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Press ‘Cancel’ to turn off Sauté mode.
  3. Stir in black beans, pinto beans, corn, diced tomatoes, diced tomatoes with green chilies, taco seasoning, ranch seasoning, and beef/chicken broth. Do not stir after adding broth; try to keep the taco seasoning from sticking to the bottom.
  4. Close the Instant Pot lid and set the valve to ‘Sealing’. Select ‘Manual’ or ‘Pressure Cook’ on High Pressure for 10 minutes.
  5. Once cooking is complete, allow a Natural Pressure Release for 10 minutes, then perform a Quick Release for any remaining pressure.
  6. Carefully open the lid, stir the soup well.
  7. Serve hot with your favorite taco soup toppings.

Notes

  • Ensure the taco seasoning does not stick to the bottom of the Instant Pot to avoid a “burn” notice.
  • Adjust the spice level by using milder or spicier diced tomatoes with green chilies.
  • This soup can be made ahead of time and reheated.
