Frugal Soup Recipes : Taco Soup

Taco Soup is a great soup, even for those who don’t really care for soups! It is also excellent to make when you have leftover taco meat. See below recipe for leftover recipe instructions.

Frugal Tips for this Taco Soup Recipe:

Use what you have on hand. I have made several variations of this soup recipe from all kidney beans to no green pepper, I’ve even left the rotel tomatoes completely out several times. You can’t really go wrong!

*All of my soup recipes can be used with dairy or made into dairy free recipe versions. I have a milk allergy while my husband does not so I often try to make recipes in which substitions can be made either way. My soup recipes are also made to be as frugal as possible.

I like to eat this soup with a dollop of sour cream (dairy free for me!) and the hubby likes to dip tortillas in it.
