A simple and delicious taco soup without the beans. This soup contains basic pantry ingredients and is just as good as the regular version of taco soup.
Sickness hit our house a few weeks ago. Thankfully it was not the flu, but it was a nasty cold that would not go away.
Almost two weeks later and some in our house are still not 100% better. I ended up with a sinus infection and finally gave in and got some antibiotics Saturday. Up until now we have had a pretty healthy winter, so I cannot really complain. So many people have had it much worse. I think we are all ready for spring!
When we have a house full of sick people, soup is a must. But when I am one of the ones sick it has to be one I can put together quickly with ingredients I have on hand.
One day when I was sick I just dumped a bunch of ingredients in the slow cooked and hoped it turned out good. It did. Although I was too sick to take time to get pictures of that meal.
Another day I made the simple stove top taco soup that I am sharing today. This is a meaty, hearty, no bean soup. You could easily add beans to it, but I liked it without beans because it was a little different than your normal taco soup.
This was basically a dump a bunch of stuff in a pan and 30 minutes later we had dinner, type of meal. You could easily do this in a slow cooker though if you wanted it to cook ahead of time.
I used roasted frozen corn when I made this because that is what we had and it gave it a nice flavor, but regular frozen corn would work just as well.
A quick and easy soup.

Thanks! This is a good soup for diabetics because beans like pintos, kidneys, etc. raise blood sugar. Also, like the chili recipe without beans.
I am glad that you enjoy the no bean soup and chili recipes!
My son doesn’t like beans, or corn!! What do you suggest to use instead?
You could leave out the corn too. It would be more like a beanless chili that way, but you could just leave it out.
You could add chips since there are no beans and if you don’t like corn.
Such an easy meal! Love it!
