Why should you make this Taco Soup in an Instant Pot?
- Yes, we can definitely make this soup in a slow cooker or over a stove top and I have nothing against the Indian style pressure cooker but Instant Pot allows multi-tasking especially when you expect guests or during parties.
- Also, if you do not like standing near the stove constantly while making dishes, trust Instant Pot saves you big time.
- In Instant Pot you can thaw all the ingredients, select your mode of cooking and manage other tasks then.
- Therefore, Instant Pot Taco Soup is a good way to try a different way of making soups and quick meals.
Can I freeze this Soup?
Taco soup freeze very well. Transfer it in a freezer safe container and freeze for upto 3 months.
I recommend freezing it in individual portions so you can thaw one portion when needed.
Can I use ground turkey instead of ground beef?
You can use ground turkey, ground chicken or ground pork to make this soup.
Ground beef is rich in fat and hence the resultant soup is super flavourful. But feel free to use any meat of your choice.
Which toppings to add on Instant Pot Taco Soup?
Oh, you can go as versatile as you want. Personally, a few of my favourite add-ons are:
- Sour Cream
- Cilantro
- Cheddar Cheese
- Tortilla Chips
- Avocado
- Lemon Wedges
- Jalapeno
