Pioneer Womans Taco Soup Recipes

7-CAN SOUP

Steps:

• Without draining the cans, empty the chili, kidney beans, pinto beans, black beans, tomatoes, corn, and tomatoes with green chilies into a large pot over high heat. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes to bring all the flavors together. Add salt and pepper as needed.
• Dice the cheese and stir it into the soup until melted. Serve immediately.

TACO SHELLS AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.
• Heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, crumbling it with a wooden spoon, until browned, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in the chili powder, cumin, onion powder, garlic powder and paprika. Stir in the diced tomatoes and chiles, hot water, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and bring to a simmer. Cook until the sauce thickens, 2 to 3 minutes, then remove to a bowl (it will still be a little juicy).
• In the same pan over medium heat, add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the milk and cook until hot and bubbling. Add the processed cheese and cook, stirring, until melted. Do the same with the Cheddar jack. Pour in the cooked pasta, add the taco meat and stir to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning, thinning with a splash of milk if needed. Stir in the cilantro.
• Top each serving with some sour cream and salsa if desired.

TACO SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add the scallion whites and cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and soft, about 2 minutes. Add the beef and cook, stirring to break it up into small crumbles, until cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the taco and ranch seasonings until well combined.
• Add the tomatoes, beans, corn and 1 teaspoon salt. Fill one of the bean cans with water and add it to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the beans are warmed through, about 10 minutes.
• Serve in bowls with scallion greens, Cheddar, sour cream and pico de gallo.

TACO SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the onion and garlic and cook until they have started to soften, about 1 minute. Add the beef and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook the beef, breaking it up with a spatula, until it is cooked through and browned, about 8 minutes. Add the tomato paste and taco seasoning, then stir to combine.
• Stir in the black beans, corn, tomatoes with green chiles and vegetable stock. Add a few dashes of hot sauce, then stir well and bring to a simmer. Simmer to allow the flavors to come together and the liquid to slightly thicken, 10 to 15 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
• Serve in bowls, garnished with the Cheddar, sour cream, cilantro and more hot sauce to taste. Crumble over the corn chips.
