Taco soup is one of my favorite fall recipes. I know you can make this soup year-round but eating it when the temperatures are cool and crisp makes it taste so much better! This Creamy Taco Soup recipe is loaded with veggies, lean ground beef and flavorful spices! It’s super easy to make and comes together perfectly in your slow cooker.

This creamy beef taco soup comes together easily and requires very little preparation — perfect for busy weeknights. And what makes this soup recipe so amazing is that everyone can customize their soup with a variety of toppings.
