    Aren't you glad it's soup season again? As soon as the temperatures begin to drop, I make our favorite taco soup recipe. Usually, I make taco soup on the stove, but I've been converting older recipes to Instant Pot recipes, and I made this quick and easy Instant Pot taco soup.

    You guys, this quick and easy taco soup is so good -- simple, too! It's practically a dump and start Instant Pot soup recipe, only you have to brown the ground beef first. After that, you just throw everything into the pot and let it cook.

    I cook with ground beef a lot, and I have a ton of ground beef recipes and Instant Pot ground beef recipes on the blog. But taco soup has always been one of my favorites -- it's super kid friendly, too! And, it's definitely one of the easiest Instant Pot soup recipes you can make!

    How to make easy taco soup with ground beef

    You can make taco soup with chicken or beef, but I usually always make my taco soup with ground beef. Try to get the leanest ground beef you can -- It saves you from having to drain the fat!

    What do you put in taco soup?

    Taco soup is basically tacos in soup form. You can make the simplest taco soup recipe or you can load it up with your favorite ingredients, which is what I always do. We're talking about beef, black beans, corn, tomatoes -- the works!

    It's similar to the Pioneer Woman's taco soup recipe, except that I don't use chili, and I definitely drain the canned ingredients. I also use only black beans in taco soup.

    To make Instant Pot taco soup, you brown the ground beef, then you season it and add the rest of the ingredients. I add the beans, beef broth, corn, and then I add the tomatoes last.

    Don't stir the tomatoes in -- You don't want it to burn. Just dump them on top of the corn layer.

    Next, you pressure cook the soup for 10 minutes, and that's it! Allow a short natural release to avoid soup splattering everywhere, and you're ready to eat!

    You can put out a taco bar with your favorite toppings. I like to serve taco soup with shredded cheese, sour cream, sliced jalapeno peppers, tomatoes and tortilla chips. You can add avocado slices or guac, as well.
