    Monsoons and Winters, are two seasons that are just perfect to sip on some fresh Masala Tea | Indian Ginger Tea but this is also the time when you crave something hot and comforting for your meals too.

    And what can be better than piping hot soups on such cold days? Right?

    I have been making homemade soups for long, but now with Instant Pot by my side making them has become incredibly quick and easy.

    Having made many recipes such as Sweet Potato, Brown Rice, Chicken Breast, Oatmeal, Mashed Potatoes in Instant Pot, I knew that even a Soup in Instant Pot would turn out great without a doubt.

    So, without wasting any time, I tried my hands on this Taco Soup. 

    A motley of diced tomatoes, beef, onions, black beans, and chicken broth, this soup is satisfying, salubrious, and scrumptious.

    With beans being a hit combo with tacos, you may serve this Mexican soup with tortilla chips or even with cheese, Jalapenos et al.

    You just need a little amount of olive oil to make it.

    As a result, even your workout doesn’t go for a toss if you eat it all up.

    It’s super healthy and I am sure even your kids will love this one.

    So, whenever you feel that nip in the air again, get all the ingredients ready and make this comforting and delicious Instant Pot Taco Soup, which will definitely satisfy your Mexican cravings.

    About the recipe

    It is a delicious soup from the Mexican cuisine, which is made with the combination of beef, onion, taco seasoning, chilli powder, salt, black pepper powder, chicken broth, corn, tomato, green chilli, and black bean. 

    I always make the Taco Seasoning at home, as it lends a beautiful flavor to my Mexican dishes, just like this Taco Soup. 

    This soup is

    • One-Pot
    • Easy to make
    • Filling
    • Healthy
    • Customizable

    Why should you make this in an Instant Pot?

    • Yes, we can definitely make this soup in a slow cooker or over a stovetop and I have nothing against the Indian style pressure cooker but Instant Pot allows multitasking 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.

    Can I freeze this?

    Taco soup freeze very well. Transfer it in a  freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 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 flavorful. But feel free to use any meat of your choice.

    You can replace beef with mutton or chicken mince also.

    Topping Ideas

    Oh, you can go as versatile as you want. Personally, a few of my favorite add-ons are:

    • Sour Cream
    • Cilantro
    • Cheddar Cheese
    • Tortilla Chips
    • Avocado
    • Lemon Wedges
    • Jalapeno

    With that sorted, do make this decadent soup super soon and drop your feedback for its recipe through your comments, okay?

    How to make this soup with frozen beef?

    Pour 1 cup water into your Instant Pot and place the trivet or a cooking rack.

    Place the ground beef on top of the trivet.

    Set the Instant Pot to MANUAL and press the timer for 20 minutes.

    At the end of the cooking time, turn the Instant Pot off.

    Do a quick release and drain the water from the Instant Pot.

    Now follow the recipe given below.
