Instructions

  • Stir in taco seasoning until evenly coated.
  • Add beef broth and tomato juice. Stir well to combine.
  • Mix in Rotel (with juices), black beans, pinto beans, and frozen corn.
  • Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for at least 20 minutes.

Notes

For a chunkier soup, use less tomato juice. Want it creamy? Add a swirl of sour cream before serving. Turkey Taco Soup also freezes beautifully for future meals.
