Slow Cooker Creamy Taco Soup takes ordinary taco soup to a whole new level of comforting yumminess! Not that there’s anything wrong with ordinary taco soup, but making it creamy…now that’s simply the right thing to do! It’s a little spicy, a lot hearty, and way creamy!

Slow Cooker Creamy Taco Soup - easiest soup ever

Are you one of those people that freezes all winter long? Unfortunately I am! When I agreed to marry my husband I was also agreeing to live on this stinky dairy farm in Eastern Idaho, otherwise known as the coldest and windiest part of Idaho!

Part of the agreement was that I would live here, if he would not make me leave the house to go to work AND give me a fireplace! Well, I work from home, have a wood fireplace downstairs, a propane fireplace upstairs, and an electric heater that blows on my feet while I work in my office! I guess he kept his end of the deal!

I’m grateful to be warm while I’m working in my house but I do have to leave every once in awhile ! And I’m not going to even pretend like it’s okay out there in the winter. Everytime I head out of a store I tell Justin how my  leg hairs are growing (I swear they grow faster when I get goosebumps) the whole way back to the car. And I might even claim that my nostrils are getting frozen shut, and that my once broken finger (6th grade basketball injury) is aching because it’s too cold. And I have to spend half of my income on warm fuzzy boots and cozy coats so I don’t freeze!

As you can imagine I LOVE warming up to a piping hot bowl of soup almost everyday all winter long! There’s just something magical about warming up from the inside out!

Slow Cooker Creamy Taco Soup - throw it in the slow cooker

Slow Cooker Creamy Taco Soup hits the spot EVERY. SINGLE. TIME! I’m telling you  how can you go wrong with soup like this?

  • It’s made in the slow cooker…how easy is that?
  • It’s Mexican food! I can’t resist (Fiesta Mexican Dip, Beef and Bean Burritos, Beef Enchilada Stacks,
  • All I you have to do is open a few cans and throw them in the slow cooker.
  • At almost any given moment I have leftover taco meat in my fridge which gives me a headstart on making Slow Cooker Cream Taco Soup! (P.S.All of those Mexican foods I listed above can be made out of leftover taco meat. Get some in the fridge ASAP!)

Slow Cooker Creamy Taco Soup - piping hot soup

When it comes time to serve Creamy Slow Cooker Taco Soup all you need to do is add put it in a bowl and top it with sour cream (more creaminess), cheese, and corn chips. You can get as carried away as you want and add chopped cilantro, avocados, diced tomatoes, sliced olives, and green onions! You decide how carried away you want to get!

Slow Cooker Creamy Taco Soup - creamy make it even better

My family never complains about sliding their two feet under the table when they know they are getting Slow Cooker Creamy Taco Soup! Justin never complains about my excessive coldness! He does look at me like I’m crazy though…probably because he knows I’m going to put my ice cube feet on him as soon as we get in bed! And yes, we have a heated mattress pad an electric blanket! May the summer be here before we know it!

    I hear you about the cold! I have to say I’m not much of a fan of it myself. I like to snowshoe but that’s about it. This looks like the perfect soup to warm you up once those chilly nights hit.

    This looks VERY good. One QUESTION, however:

    Is it possible that the ingredient that reads “8-oz can of tomato SOUP”:SHOULD read “8-oz can of tomato SAUCE”?

    I’ve never seen tomato SOUP in that size can, but 8 ounces is a VERY COMMON size of tomato SAUCE.

    Thank you!

      Hi Jayni! Thanks for catching that. It should read tomato sauce, I just edited the post so it should be correct now! Enjoy!

    Hello, I have a quick question on this recipe! For the ranch seasoning and taco seasons should I season the ground beef before I cook it with the taco seasoning before adding to the crockpot..or should I just add the ranch and taco seasoning into the pot with all the ingredients thanks!

      November 20, 2019 at 2:49 pm

      Go ahead and add the seasonings, browned meat, and the rest of the ingredients (except cream cheese) to the crockpot at once! This is a perfect winter day soup recipe! Enjoy!

    I’m making this today! It’s a rainy fall afternoon in Tennessee. I used some southwest chicken breasts I had from Aldi instead of ground beef, just took them out of the pot to shred and dumped them back in. I’m definitely adding the cream cheese in a few hours. My heart is already happy!

      This soup is the perfect rainy day dinner! I love the idea of adding chicken breasts and then pulling them out to shred. That sounds so easy and delicious! Let me know how it turns out and I’d love you to leave this recipe a rating!
