Tips for best results
I always like to use dark meat turkey, as it has more flavor.
Try to use Fire-Roasted Crushed Tomatoes. They have a beautiful smoky flavor and aroma.
How to store. This soup stays fresh in the refrigerator for up to a week. Plus, it gets even more tasty on the 2nd and 3rd days, as all the flavors bind together!
How to freeze. This Taco Soup freezes very well! When it’s completely cooled off, transfer it to air-tight container or a freezer-safe zip-lock bag and freeze for up to 3 months. To defrost, put it in the fridge overnight, and then reheat in a pot or microwave.
