What is the secret to making good Taco Soup?

The secret to making good Chicken Taco Soup is to keep it simple. When making soups and stews it is easy to start adding in random ingredients and the next thing you know, you’ve added the kitchen sink.

They key to a good Taco Soup is to use basic seasonings and ingredients to make a simple yet delicious pot your whole family will love.

What gives Soup the best flavor?

The spices are the most important part of giving soup and stews the best flavor. The best part of Taco Soup is all your seasonings are already packed into one easy packet. You guessed it…taco seasoning packets make for the best flavored taco soup.

Should Taco Soup be thick or soupy?

The age-old question of any soup or stew is should it be thick or soupy. You want to make sure it is thick enough, but not so thick it could be eaten like a sloppy joe. I always tease my husband that you shouldn’t be able to make a sandwich out of soup.

I personally like mine thinner but with tons of flavor that does not taste watered down. The best way to do this is all about your choice of liquid.

What liquid is best for Soup?

The liquid is one of the most important parts. A lot of people tend to use water to thin out their soups and stews, but water can really dilute the flavor. To pack maximum flavor into your recipes try using broth or stock instead of water, or bullion in a pinch.

Is Taco Soup better if you cook it longer?

The longer soups and stews are allowed to simmer, the better the flavor will be. I have found that it is always better when you cook it a day ahead of time. If I don’t have time to make a full day ahead, I like to cook it as early as possible. Then I let it cool in the crock pot and heat it back up just in time to serve.

There is something about letting your soup’s flavor meld together, that makes it all the better. Trust me. Be sure to tag me on Instagram if you give this recipe a try. And follow along with The Four Acre Farm blog for more Easy Homemade Recipes, Gardening Tips, & Budget Friendly DIY.
