At any given point, you can usually find at least a few tupperware containers filled with taco soup in my freezer. We love this meal. It’s so easy to make, tastes amazing and freezes/reheats well too. Oh, and I should mention you can also prepare this recipe in a crock pot!
*for a good laugh, check out my original taco soup post from my early blogging days a looooong time ago.

Ooo! We make taco soup all the time because I love that you can use basically whatever ingredients you have on hand. But I never thought about adding ranch dressing seasoning! That sounds fabulous. Thanks for sharing!
I have actually never had taco soup and being that I love to cook.. it's almost hard to believe that I've never made it myself. With that being said, what time should I be over for dinner?
Have you made a vegetarian version of this? Do you think I could get away with adding extra beans and just skipping the ground beef?
I was thinking of doing the same thing.
That looks delicious! I'm going to be making this, thanks!
