Easy Taco Soup Dinner
What I love most about this recipe is that it is as easy to please as it is easy to make! While this basic recipe is already wonderful as it is, you can add a little flair to it as you would any taco by serving it with crushed up tortilla chips or tortilla strips on top. Maybe a couple slices of fresh avocado on top, too? Maybe some diced jalapeños to give it a bit of a kick? (Those are most certainly MY favorites on tacos, yesss!) Anything taco-ey that you normally like to have, g’head! This Easy Taco Soup is WORTH IT!

Just like I like my tacos smothered in cheese, I looove my taco soup just as cheesy! The cheesier the better is what I think (about pretty much everything, that is)! My kids love it as much as I do! They’re the ones who will eat shredded cheese right out of the bag, lol. Kids, man. You can definitely call us “cheese-a-holics” in this household, for sure! Can’t ever have enough of it, that’s for certain! And the ooey gooey melty-ness stirred right into this soup just elevates the taco flavor even more! So good, friends!
