    This Instant Pot Taco Soup is perfect for a quick and easy dinner! It's all the flavors we know and love from tacos, thrown into a delicious tomato based broth! Not to mention it cooks in less than 20 minutes! (Thank you Instant Pot.) What I love about this recipe is that it's so easy to throw together, and makes a ton of leftovers! (Each batch is about 8 servings.) For me I enjoy the recipe as is, but for Ryan I like to "beef it up" by adding pre-cooked rice! Usually I meal prep a giant container of jasmine rice in the beginning of the week, and I throw some into most meals that I cook for Ryan!

    🍴 Recipe Ingredients

    • Ground Beef - You can sub for ground chicken or ground turkey.

    • Filtered Water
    • Diced Sweet Potato
    • Can of Black Beans - I use the brand "Eden."
    • Frozen Cauliflower Rice - I use the Whole Foods Brand, but you can find them in most grocery stores. You can also use fresh cauliflower rice.

    Instant Pot Taco Soup

    🍴Recipe Instructions

    Preparing your vegetables

    1. Start by prepping all of your veggies. (Onion, garlic, sweet potato, and sweet peppers.) Next puree tomatoes, and rinse and drain black beans. Set to the side while we prep the meat.

    Cooking the ground beef

    1. Turn your pressure cooker to the saute function, set to medium/high heat. Add avocado oil, ground beef, onions, and garlic. Stir until meat is broken up and about 80% cooked. (Shouldn't take more than 5 minutes.)
    2. Next add in water, tomato puree, black beans, and seasoning. Give it a good stir, then add vegetables, and stir until fully combined.

    Cooking in the Instant Pot

    1. Place the cover on your pressure cooker, make sure it's in lock mode, then set it to manual. Cook on high for 12 minutes! Release the pressure when it's finished cooking, give it a stir then serve!

    Vegan & Vegetarian Substitutions

    It's also an easy swap to make this recipe vegetarian style! If you're planning to skip the meat, just add a second can of black beans, one extra cup of sweet potato, and one extra cup of sweet peppers! You can also stir in rice or quinoa when it's done cooking to "beef it up."

    Taco Soup topping ideas -

    • Fresh Cilantro
    • Avocado Chunks
    • Sliced Jalapenos
    • A drizzle of hot sauce
    • Grain Free Chips (I like the brand Siete.)
    • I also like to stir in basmati or jasmine rice to "bulk" it up!

    Can you freeze taco soup?

    Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for about 5 days. (In an air tight glass container.) Any longer than 5 days, and I would put them in a freezer safe container. They will last for a few months in the freezer. I usually put half of the batch in the freezer for days I don't feel like cooking!

    Helpful kitchen gadgets -

    • Ninja Pressure Cooker - I have the 8 quart.
    • Instant Pot - I also have an Instant Pot! Both work great, it just depends what you need.

        The post does not mention anything about being paleo.
