How To Make Traditional Taco Soup

Ingredients

  • Meat: hamburger
  • Veggies: onion, bell pepper, and garlic cloves 
  • Homemade: Bone Broth (can substitute beef stock)
  • Canned goods: diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, black beans, kidney beans, pinto beans, corn (frozen, fresh, or 1 can drained)
  • Spices: cumin powder, chili powder, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper

What are the benefits of bone broth?

I have an entire article teaching about the amazing benefits of bone broth and how to make it! It is so easy and inexpensive to make from home. Not to mention the quality is going to be far better than what you can buy from the store. I substitute bone broth for water in all my soup recipes because bone broth is just packed with an enormous amount of nutrients. Below are some of the amazing benefits of bone broth!

  • Minerals and components within bone broth are important for cellular function. They aid in the remineralization of our own skeletal system, especially as we age. Not only is this important as we age, but also as we are developing.
  • Collagen is a component of bone broth. Collagen is connective; therefore, it helps strengthen your hair, nails, skin, tissues, and pelvic floor.
  • Collagen aids in the proper growth and development of a baby while in utero and as a young child growing and developing.
  • Bone broth stimulates the immune and protective response in our body to fight against foreign material! How cool is that – it is literally fuel for our immune system’s response. (source)
  • Bone broth contains gelatin which helps repair the gut lining. In some cases, this can help those with food sensitivities related to leaky gut.
  • Bone broth contains potassium and glycine which aid the liver in detoxification.
  • Bone broth contains arginine, glycine, and glutamine which promote a well-functioning metabolism.

Steps for making taco soup

This is a one pot dinner that makes about 1 gallon of soup. It’s great for feeding a crowd or large family! It is so easy to dump in the ingredients and cook on the stove top, you might want to add it to your regular monthly meals!

  1. Chop your veggies first, then you can just dump and cook quickly.
  2. Add a little grease to the bottom of a large soup pot and brown your hamburger on medium heat. Be sure to break the hamburger into small pieces.
  3. Add your veggies to the soup pan, cooking until the onion is soft and fragrant.
  4. Pour your bone broth, all the canned ingredients, and corn into your pot and bring to a boil.
  5. Once at a boil, reduce heat and add the spices. Mix well.
  6. Ladle into bowls and serve with the recommended toppings!
