This Taco Soup is healthy and delicious all in one comforting bowl. It's also vegan, dairy free and gluten-free!
My name is Lauren and I eat soups all year long.
Yes, some people think it's strange to eat a bowl of hot soup when it's 80 degrees out. Not me.
I prefer soup with vegetables in there. Lots and lots of vegetables. Add some pasta, rice or quinoa and I am even happier. And I don't like when my soups are too thick and creamy.
All of a sudden it just got really cold. Like crazy, windy, 40-50 degrees cold. This is where my obsession with soup comes in handy.
Now people won't think I am crazy for making soup all the time. And they even want some of my soup.
If you are looking for more healthy soup recipes, you will love this Slow Cooker Thai Curried Chicken Soup, Low Carb Creamy Cauliflower Soup, Creamy Asparagus Soup and Easy Minestrone Soup.
These would be extra delicious with some Apple Chai Latte, Eggnog Latte, Low Carb Bulletproof Hot Chocolate or even some Spiked Apple Cider!
Also, my cookbooks are both on sale now and would make a great gift! The Everything Wheat Free Diet Cookbook and The Greek Yogurt Cookbook are both the lowest prices I have seen!
Why You Should Make This Taco Soup
I love making a double batch of this taco soup and have it for lunch and then freezing some for later in my meal prep days. It makes life so much easier to be organized and prepared.
This is easy to customize to your dietary requirements and likes. You can add shredded chicken or ground beef to add protein or add whatever vegetables you have in the house.
I am in love with these Trader Joe's Organic Tortilla Chips. My kids love dunking the chips in the soup.

This looks so hearty and comforting. Although I'm an equal opportunity soup-love. I like the thick, creamy ones too, but mainly when they are thick and creamy from pureed veggies, and not super rich and heavy.

Yummy! I wish more places had veggie friendly taco soups. I see them on menus all the time but I can't have any of them because they all have chicken!
