Easy Taco Noodle Soup

Categories Easy Recipes, Healthy Recipes, Main Course, Soup

This easy taco noodle soup is delicious and perfect for feeding the crew on a chilly day or night! It comes together quickly, is hearty and tasty!

This makes a big batch so feel free to cut this recipe in half or freeze half of it for later. It also makes excellent leftovers and like many soups this tastes even better as a leftover!

This recipe is super simple and uses taco seasoning for the main seasoning ingredient. I love to buy the bulk taco seasoning from Costco but any of your favorite brands will also work.

This soup reminds me of growing up, my mom would make hearty soups and stews like this and I really learned to appreciate and love them as an adult.
