One of our favorite standby meals around here is tacos. I mean, it doesn’t get any easier, or tastier, than seasoned meat, tortillas, and toppings! So turn tacos into soup and we’re totally on board and our bellies are in love. I’ve been making this Spicy Taco Soup recipe for years, and it continues to be a favorite. It’s easy, quick, filling and delicious. Does a recipe get any better than that!?

This is the kind of recipe that really can’t be screwed up, because you can adjust it to your tastes, preferred level of spicyness, or to whatever’s available in your pantry or fridge. Sometimes I throw in fresh bell peppers, zucchini or frozen corn.

Favorite toppings for Taco Soup: avocado, cheddar cheese and green onions. Yum! via www.twopurplecouches.com

Tom likes to top his soup with shredded cheddar, tortilla chips and a dash or two of hot sauce. I like to top mine with avocado, cheese and green onion. Sometimes I splurge and add a dollop of sour cream.

Oh, and I don’t think I mentioned yet that this cooks up in about 20-30 minutes! Quick + easy + delicious = a perfect meal in my book!
