Vegetarian Taco Soup Crock Pot Recipe

My Vegetarian Taco Soup Crock Pot Recipe is the kind of savory bowl you WANT seconds of. You know if something has taco in the title, I'm going to love it. This meatless taco soup is no different.

With toddler twins, I'm short on time and am all about meals like this which are super simple. This is an open and dump slow cooker recipe that is still surprisingly fresh and healthy using powerhouse pantry staples like canned beans, canned tomatoes, canned green chilis, and vegetable broth. The Mexican inspired flavors will remind you of taco night in a soup form.

You know a recipe is a winner when it's on a food blogger's monthly meal rotation.

Why You'll Love This Vegetarian Taco Soup...

My Vegetarian Taco Soup is kind of like my Crock Pot Award Winning Vegetarian Chili, but it is more soup-like thickness and the flavors are slightly different.

The Meatless Taco Soup features taco seasoning and is topped with taco toppings like shredded cheese, lime, cilantro, avocado, Greek yogurt (or sour cream), and green onions. The recipe it'self is a Vegan Taco Soup recipe and the cheese on top is the only thing keeping it from staying vegan.

My personal favorite part of the entire meal is the tortilla chips I serve it with. I crumble some on top AND serve it with some on the side for dipping. In my opinion, that's what really makes this meal irresistible.

Ingredients in the Vegetarian Crock Pot Soup:

This Vegetarian Taco Soup features lots of pantry staples making this an easy recipe to make in a pinch.

Canned Beans: Canned beans are the star of my Vegetarian Taco Soup. I use a combination of black beans AND kidney beans.
Canned Tomato: Canned tomatoes add flavor and color to the soup.
Green Peppers: One bell peppers adds some freshness to this taco soup!
Onion: I like to use a sweet white or Vidalia onion for my soup.
Canned Green Chilies: A little can of green chilis adds so much Mexican flavor to the vegetarian taco soup.
Vegetable Broth: Use a high-quality low sodium broth for the best results. You can then adjust the amount of salt in the soup to your own personal preference.
Garlic: Lots of garlic makes this soup have lots of flavors. Feel free to add more with your heart. 🙂
Spices: This soup features Mexican and Taco inspired species like cumin, chili powder, oregano, and bay leaves.
Taco Toppings: Pick your favorite taco toppings like tortilla chips, plain greek yogurt, avocado, shredded cheese, green onions, cilantro, and lime! Whatever you pick don't miss the LIME and chips.

How to Make the Vegetarian Taco Soup recipe:

Put all the ingredients except for the toppings in the slow cooker or crock pot.
Cook for 6-8 hours on low or 3-4 hours on high until your vegetables are tender.

Variations & Pro Tips

To make this a Vegan Taco Soup just adjust the toppings to one's that fit your lifestyles like plant-based yogurt or vegan cheese. You can also skip the dairy substitutes and just do avocado, lime and cilantro! The recipe it'self is actually fully vegan!
Add corn for more color and flavor.
Use my Homemade Taco Seasoning instead of the spices I listed.
Change up the canned beans to your personal favorites! Garbonzo beans are also a fun and unique addition.
