Low-Carb Taco Soup – SO good! I wanted to lick the bowl!! If you aren’t doing low-carb, feel free to add corn and black beans. Ground beef, taco seasoning, Ranch dressing mix, diced tomatoes and green chilies, cream cheese, Velveeta, beef broth. Just dump every in the crock pot and dinner is done. Can freeze leftovers for a quick meal later. This soup is seriously delicious!! #crockpot #slowcooker #soup #taco #lowcarb

Pin This RecipeI’m back with another low-carb recipe today. Low-Carb Taco Soup. Let me tell you, this soup is DELICIOUS! You will never miss the carbs!!! We have made this several times over the past month and just can’t seem to get enough of it. It is seriously yummy!
To keep the carbs down, look for carb-free Taco Seasoning. I like Mrs. Dash Southwest Chipotle seasoning. Bonus that it doesn’t have any added sodium either!!!
If you aren’t watching your carbs, feel free to add a can of drained corn and black beans. We’ve eaten this with and without the corn/beans and it is equally delicious. Feel free to cut the calories down with some light cream cheese and ground turkey. Every little bit helps!!!
Top the soup with your favorite toppings. We like sour cream, cheese and jalapeños. I also found a tub of Wholly guacamole Avocado Verde Dip that is super low in carbs that works great on top of this soup.

This was SOOOO DELICIOUS!!! I randomly purchased velveeta today at Target. I googled keto recipes using velveeta and this 5 star recipe came up! I was SOOO HAPPY as I had all the other ingredients at home as well! I made on the stovetop as it was for tonight’s dinner snd didn’t have time to slow cook! This was SOOO EASY and SOOOO DELICIOUS!!! I definitely recommend it! I stuck with the exact recipe but added some extra velveeta! Thanks so much for posting!
I made this last night for dinner! Awesome! I made it on the stovetop instead of using the crockpot. I browned the beef then added everything besides the broth. I tasted this mixture and OMG it was perfect for a DIP to eat with tortilla chips. In fact I did just that with a couple of chips, it was very good. But I still added the broth and finished my soup. It was good and I will be making again for sure.
Can you add pinto or black beans to this?
Sure, but it would no longer be low carb.
I made this with cooked ground venison and Turkey. Then put a jar of salsa and a rinsed can of black soybeans. Also instead of shredded cheese I used velveeta Mexican cheese with jalapeño and can of green chili peppers. Everything else the same It was delicious! Thanks for the inspiration. Always looking fir low carb keto recipes ideas.👍🏻
Just made this!!! OMG it was soooo good. My plan was to make a batch and have it throughout the week for my intermittent fasting meal and my teen daughter and son pretty much finished it off right after it was finished cooking! I put aside two small bowls for myself 🤫 My 18yr old asked “where has this been his whole life”? I used chicken and added can of black beans. SO GOOD!!!
Very good but I decided to go with the chipotle seasoning instead of taco & it’s too spicy, unfortunately don’t think anyone will eat it unless I can figure out how to tone the spice down. Any suggestions? Next time I’ll experiment with less chipotle. We don’t like chunks of tomato so I ran the rotel through my mini chopper to purée it & I also used ground turkey since my husband is trying to avoid red meat thank you for the recipe!
Holy Lord Almighty….nothing to say but that you are an actual saint for answering so many dumb questions about subs and alternate cooking methods.
If you substitute ground turkey, what broth would you suggest? If you substituted the meat with chicken would you use chicken broth/stock?
Any broth will work fine. It would just be up to you and your personal preference.
We are following a low carb diet. This is the most incredibly delicious soup!! It makes you think you are cheating on your diet!! Seriously addictive!!
I have made this several times and it’s “always” a big hit. Served this to our no carb friends and they raved about it! This is a must try for everyone! So easy to make…
Love this recipe. Adding chopped cilantro in also fantastic.
I made your delicious taco soup.
I used 2 breast of rotisserie chicken cubes very small. Followed with remaining ingredients.
Cooked over stove top for 45 min.
The most delicious nutrition soup!
I made on the stovetop with a little extra velveeta and a can of corn. It was awesome! My husband is a rice fanatic so he put his over rice and loved every bite!
Sounds delicious! SO glad you enjoyed it!
Can you freeze this?
Yes!! I’m a flight attendant and have eaten this on trips for 3+ years!! I put a serving in each quart size freezer after it cools and roll tightly to get the air out or a food saver. I follow her recipe exactly and freeze for up to 10 weeks and it’s as great as when it’s first made.

How much is one serving? Maybe a cup? Thanks!
It would be up to you how much a serving is. One to one and a half cups probably.
Delicious!! On Keto diet presently. I used a crock pot but cooked on high for 4 hours. Used turkey instead of beef. Wanna try chicken next time. Trying to stay away from beef. Gobbled it up. Thanks for the recipe.
This was a great recipe. I took creative liberty and sautéed my meat with onions. Then added a cup of black beans, with liquid and a can of drained yellow corn kernels. It was magnificent … I only wish I had made more!!!
Are the cans of tomatoes/chiles drained before adding?
I didn’t drain them, but you can if you prefer.
My soup came out chunky and not well mixed together even after I stirred it. Did I do something wrong?
It’s not going to be completely smooth because of the ground beef & tomatoes. You can use a whisk to help incorporate the cream cheese.
I accidentally put the burger in uncooked 🙁 will it still be okay?
It should cook along with everything else. I think you are fine.
Do you use the Rotel drained or undrained?
undrained
This was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! It was rich and creamy; my family, including 3 teenage boys, could not get enough. We added sliced avocado, sour cream (and those of us not doing keto crushed up some tortilla chips and sprinkled them on top). Will definitely be adding this to the weekly menu rotation!
I don’t have the velveeta cubes on hand just the sauce in pouches? Will that work. And I don’t have time to cook it for 6-8 hours since I just found this, can I put it in a normal pan and cook? And how long at what temp?
You can cook it on the stove. Brown the meat, add the remaining ingredients. Bring the soup to a boil and simmer for about 20 to 30 minutes.
How would you cook this in the instant pot
I wanted to cook this on the stove top. How long would you suggest cooking it for?
Maybe bring to a boil and simmer 20 to 30 minutes.
I think I might try it with chicken!
Is there any way to make this on the stove top as opposed to crock pot??
sure – just dump everything in a Dutch oven and cook until it is throughly combined and warm.
Going to try this in the Instant Pot and try it this way. Thank you for the tip!
Do you precook hamburger to drain grease or no?
Yes – first ingredient is cooked ground beef
Sorry, just saw cooked ????
How many servings are there? Trying to plug it into MyFitnessPal. Thanks!
I made this in the instant pot tonight. Used 3 cups of beef broth and didn’t add cream cheese until after releasing pressure. I would probably use a little less beef broth next time because I like a thicker soup and had to sauté and add a cornstarch/water slurry. This soup is sooooo good!
can you share your IP cooking time please?
It’s really good. Made it in the slow cooker. Just wish I had the macros. Anyone have them for 1 cup serving?
Can I use real cheddar cheese instead of velveeta?
You can certainly give it a try. I’ve only made this as written, so I can’t say with certainty how it will turn out with cheddar
I'm thinking about making this for a teacher potluck. I need to have it to the school ready to go at 10am. If i put it together before bed the night before (around 11??) will it be ok for 12 or so hours??? I'd probably knock it down to "warm" once it got to school. Looks awesome!! 🙂
Sounds good!
Made this tonight. It's delicious! I didn't do the carb count, but the Velveeta has a few per serving, and so does the Rotel. Anyway, we loved it!
How long can you freeze this soup? Also, do you take it out the night before and thaw in refrigerator and warm in sauce pan?
It will keep a couple of months in the freezer. I do prefer to let the soup thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating on the stove or microwave
I'm so hungry! It looks amazing!!!
Could you do this in the Instant Pot?
I’m sure you could
Is there something you can use other than Velveeta?
