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.
  • Chicken Stock. You can use a store-bought chicken broth or Homemade Chicken Stock.
  • 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.
