Taco Soup - Made by My Boys recipe by Barefeet In The Kitchen

I wonder if there is anyone left who has not yet made Taco Soup? My oldest son adores this soup. He’s been wanting to make a meal for the blog, so I told him he could make his favorite soup to share with you all this week.

The recipe is quite simple and it comes together in just minutes. I’ve made it without the beef in the past and it is just as delicious that way.

The secret to the unique flavor of taco soup is a packet of ranch dip mix. It provides an almost tanginess that balances the spice and it adds a great flavor to what might otherwise be a simple chili recipe. I no longer buy packaged ranch mix, so I haven’t made this soup in quite a while.

After numerous requests to make his soup, I decided to attempt a version using the spices from my Homemade Ranch Dip. It turned out great. It wasn’t quite as tangy as the original, but both of my boys still declared it a success.

    I had taco soup over the holidays at a restaurant and it was so comforting – this looks like the exact same recipe.

    I have wondered the same thing about not using the packets for recipes. I wonder if you could get that tanginess with some citric acid? I bought some for a lemonade drink I made over the summer and now I see it in ingredient lists…I wonder if the packets of ranch use that to get that tanginess. I really have no idea…your post just made me think about that:-).

    I've actually…never made taco soup. For real. Isn't that a shame?

    This version sounds super delicious and if your boys approve of it then I'm sure I will too!
