  5. Stir in the taco seasoning and chili powder.

  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

  • For a slow cooker version, brown the beef and onion on the stovetop, then transfer everything to a slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
  • This soup freezes well. Let it cool completely before transferring to freezer-safe containers.
  • Adjust the amount of taco seasoning and chili powder to your spice preference.
