I know this is bad but I visited Taco Bell quite often on my lunch break back then. Thinking back on it now I am surprised I did not get sick of it.
It is no wonder that tacos are one of my daughters favorite things to eat. So you can imagine I try a lot of taco inspired dishes. I have made taco soup before and although I enjoyed it my kids didn't really care for it. I have to admit my son and I actually fought over the last little bowl. So good and so hearty. This soup is one of my favorites!
Yield: 4 - 6
Cheesy Taco Soup
Taco soup like you have never had it before. Cheesy, meaty, beefy, and of so good and hearty.

2 Tablespoons butter
2 Tablespoons flour
2-1/2 cups milk, divided
salt & pepper to taste
1 cup freshly shredded cheddar cheese, plus more for topping
1 package taco seasoning
10 oz can Rotel, undrained
15 oz can of Pinto Beans, drained
Crushed tortilla chips for topping

salt & pepper to taste
1 cup freshly shredded cheddar cheese, plus more for topping
1 package taco seasoning
10 oz can Rotel, undrained
15 oz can of Pinto Beans, drained

instructions
Brown ground beef in a large soup pot over medium-high heat, seasoning with salt and pepper, until no longer pink. Drain and return to pot. Meanwhile, in a separate pan, melt butter over medium heat then whisk in flour and cook for one minute. Slowly whisk in 1 cup milk, season with salt and pepper and stir mixture until thickened. Remove from heat, stir in cheese until smooth. Set aside. Add taco seasoning, rotel, beans, cheese sauce, and remaining 1-1/2 cups milk into cooked ground beef then stir well to combine. Bring to a heavy simmer then turn heat down to medium and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve with crushed tortilla chips and more shredded cheese, if desired.
NOTES:
Add black beans or substitute the pinto beans with any bean you prefer.

ReplyDeleteSo funny. I craved Mexican food when I was pregnant, too. This soup looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteThis soup is super good and comforting, thanks ladies for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteHey, I am making this tonight for supper, double batch. Do you feel the rotel and taco seasoning makes this a spicy soup? Thinking about doubling everything except taco seasoning. I would love to hear your thoughts!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tonya
Hi, I always double now, I double both of those but it is totally up to you. I use mild rotel. If using for little ones maybe just one packet of taco seasoning would be a little less spicy. Let me know how it turns out for you, its a favorite here!
ReplyDeleteG'day! HOW warm and comforting, true!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing it at the Foodie Friends Friday best of 2013 Party! Cheers! Joanne

ReplyDeleteI have not tried this in the crock pot but I have intentions to do so because I love using my crock pot. I think it will work, if you try it please let us know how it turned out for you.
ReplyDeleteI have put this link on every social network I have. This is the best soup EVER! "If I had to chose one soup to have for the rest of my life, it would be this one!" I've told friends, coworkers, the mailman, the dog, the homeless guy on the corner, anyone who will listen... Wonderful!
