Taco Soup Frios Recipe
Taco Soup Frios is a hearty, Tex-Mex-inspired dish combining bold taco flavours with the comforting warmth of soup.
Ingredients
For the Soup:
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 Medium onion, diced
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 pound ground beef or turkey (or plant-based crumbles for a vegetarian option)
- 1 can Black beans, rinsed and drained 15-ounce
- 1 can corn, drained (or 1 ½ cups frozen corn) 15-ounce
- 1 can Diced tomatoes (or Rotel for added spice) 15-ounce
- 3-4 cups Chicken or vegetable broth
- 1-2 tbsp Taco seasoning (adjust to taste)
Optional Toppings:
- Fritos chips
- Shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
- Sour cream or Greek yogurt
- Diced avocado
- Jalapeño slices (fresh or pickled)
- Fresh cilantro, chopped
- Green onions, thinly sliced
Instructions
Cook the Meat:
- Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
- Add diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing for 2–3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
- Add ground beef or turkey, breaking it into small pieces.
- Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 7–10 minutes.
- If needed, drain excess fat before proceeding.
Build the Soup Base:
- Stir in black beans, corn, and diced tomatoes (undrained if using Rotel).
- Add taco seasoning and mix well to coat the ingredients.
- Pour in chicken or vegetable broth and stir to combine.
Simmer the Soup:
- Bring the soup to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered for 20–30 minutes, allowing the flavours to meld.
- Stir occasionally and adjust seasoning to taste.
Serve and Garnish:
- Ladle the hot soup into individual bowls.
- Top with a generous handful of Fritos chips.
- Add shredded cheese, sour cream, diced avocado, jalapeños, cilantro, or green onions as desired.
Notes
- Vegetarian Option: Swap the meat for plant-based crumbles or add an extra can of beans.
- Spicy Twist: Add diced jalapeños or cayenne pepper for an extra kick.
- Creamy Variation: Stir in 4 ounces of cream cheese or ½ cup heavy cream for a creamy texture.
