I don’t have a crock pot can I cook it on the stove?

Yes! You can definitely cook the crock pot taco soup on the stove! Bring to a boil then cover and turn down to a low simmer, stirring occasionally. It can cook much quicker on the stove. Cook until the onions are cooked through and the beans are soft.

You can also cook this in an Instant Pot on the slow cooker mode.

Do I need to add sour cream?

Mix the sour cream in and it makes the taco soup rich and creamy! I prefer full fat sour cream but I buy a cilantro lime sour cream that is extra delicious in this soup. If you don’t have it or don’t like it, just leave the sour cream out.

*I often double this recipe for my family of 4 so that we can have leftovers another night. Which means I get mom of the year award from my kids, plus,dinner in less than 5 minutes on the second night! Major win right there!

Can crock pot taco soup be frozen?

Yes! Let the soup cool then pour into gallon size freezer ziplock bags. Lay flat in the freezer to freeze. I like to use these to hold the bag open when pouring in soup. Freeze for up to 3 months. To defrost just transfer to the refrigerator the day before you’ll be reheating.
