This quick and easy taco soup is a hearty vegetarian option that your whole family will love. Make it ahead and freeze or enjoy it tonight!
It is always good to have a few recipes that you can whip up out of the pantry staples you already have on hand. It’s even better if those recipes also happen to be freezer friendly so that you can simply throw the ingredients together in a bag and freeze them for a later, busier day. And if the recipe happens to ALSO be a family favorite that your kids and husband just love? Well then quite frankly, that’s a recipe you just can’t live without.
This quick & easy taco soup literally comes together in just 10 minutes, including the time it takes to brown the meat! It makes 8 generous servings, I will often mix it up, then cook one half and freeze the other half for later. It is also a great “cheater” recipe for a freezer cooking day!
