Slow Cooker Taco Soup

This easy and comforting Slow Cooker Taco Soup is perfect for busy weeknights and makes great leftover lunches. Made with beans, corn and the best Tex-Mex ingredients!

There’s nothing better than a hearty, filling and flavorful bowl of taco soup! Seasoned with my favorite southwest seasonings, this soup is made with pinto beans, black beans, corn, fire-roasted tomatoes, onions and ground turkey.

It’s made in the slow cooker, which means you can get it going in the morning, forget about it during the day (though that may be hard because your house will smell amazing) and then eat it for dinner! It’s a definite crowd pleaser that’s also budget friendly and healthy! That’s a win-win my book.
