One of my favorite things to do in the winter is cook with my instant pot. There are so many recipes that can be made, especially in the winter! Today I’ve got a yummy and easy instant pot taco soup recipe that will be perfect for nights when you want a hearty meal! It’s also a fantastic taco Tuesday option.
Can you believe I have never had taco soup until just a few years ago? Growing up in a Jamaican household, I am so used to having authentic Caribbean dishes all the time. It didn’t help that I grew up in a very Caribbean neighborhood, so I was constantly eating the same things.
I went to a conference a few years ago and finally tasted taco soup. I FINALLY saw what the hype was about. IT WAS DELICIOUS. It was so hearty, and flavorful–I was in love. I immediately ran home and told my husband that I was going to make it because it was so good–his response? “Duh.”
Oh, husbands.

What can I eat instant pot taco soup with?
Since taco soup is kind of like a soup on steroids you could absolutely make it and eat it on its own. I personally love to have it with tortilla chips — the round ones are just made for soups like this! Some people like to put sour cream, scallions and the works on top of their soup. Some folks like to have to taco soup speak for itself!
What type of meat can I use in instant pot taco soup?
I’ve tried both ground beef and ground turkey (if you do the ground turkey be sure not to buy the pre seasoned Mexican turkey meat, all the seasoning you need is in the recipe.
