Instant Pot Taco Soup is one of my yummiest go to’s. Plus, it makes getting rid of leftovers so easy! You basically just toss everything into the pot and it’s instant dinner!
Winter is the best season for delicious soup making. I happen to favor this taco soup. It’s so yummy and it’s super easy to make. This is a favorite of my husband’s. He loves it when I make it but, I’m not going to lie, I think I like it more. It has so much wonderful hardiness to it.
Anytime I can put chicken in a recipe, I do. Which is what I’ve done here. I also really like that you can make this is in your Instant Pot. It makes prep so much easier.
Never a disappointment, everyone at any gathering, can enjoy this happy dish. It will be one of the first dishes to go, because it is that good. I also recommend saving any leftovers for heating up at later meals. Even later, after being reheated, the soup tastes just as good as when you first made it.

Instant Pot Taco Soup
Serves 4 to 6
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground meat or chicken breast
- 1 large onion, diced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium jalapeno, diced
- 3 cups homemade vegetable broth
- 2 cups frozen or canned corn
- 2 cups cooked brown rice, optional but adds bulk
- 1/4 cup taco seasoning
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons tomato sauce
Instructions
-
Preheat the Instant Pot using the Sauté function.
-
When the display reads HOT add ground meat, onion, bell pepper, and jalapeño. Cook, stirring periodically, until the ground meat has browned and the vegetables begin to soften.
-
Add all other ingredients, including vegetable broth. Stir to combine. Place the lid on the cooker and make sure the pressure knob is in the SEALING position. Using the display panel select the MANUAL/PRESSURE COOK function, high pressure, and use the +/- buttons until the display reads 5 minutes.
-
When the cooker beeps to let you know it’s finished, switch the pressure knob from the SEALING to the VENTING position, causing a quick pressure release. Use caution while the steam escapes—it’s hot.

I eat this by itself or you can serve with a sprinkle of cilantro. My husband loves to add cheese, sour cream, and crushed tortilla chips. ENJOY!
We tried this tonight and my husband told me that we need to add this to our rotation; well done! I DID add a clove of garlic, but otherwise, followed this to the letter.
Yummy!!
This! So yummy. This is the second time I’ve made this in the last two weeks. My husband is on Weight Watchers, I’m gluten free, and I have a picky 5 year old who doesn’t like corn… and we all still love this soup. Thank you! Love your recipes and your story and look forward to all the emails. Can’t wait to try more!
So delicious I actually used ground turkey and left out the corn and added black beans and left out the tomato sauce and paste and added a can of diced tomatos it was delicious I ate almost two bowls!!!!
Yum yum yum!! We loved this one too!!! So easy and I can’t believe it’s done in 5 minutes! Blows my mind!
So so yummy. I could eat soup every day of the year. My husband is not a big soup fan but he loved this so much that he asked for some for his lunch the next day! Thank you for posting all these wonderful recipes and congrats on your weight loss success!

I can’t wait to try this! Does it make a difference if you used canned or frozen corn?
Nope, none at all. 🙂
Oh my gosh, I absolutely LOVE this soup! I have been trying new recipes regularly for my Instant Pot and this is one of my favs!
Just curious, I LOVE this Taco Soup and literally make it every weekend and freeze in portions of about 1 cup to take out for lunches, and I am wondering, do you know the nutrition information on this recipe (and others) like the fat/calories/carb counts? Just wondering? I track everything in Myfitnesspal and try to be as accurate as possible 🙂 Thanks so much for posting all of these awesome recipes and everything else you do, it’s fantastic and very inspiring!!
Do you drain the fat from the ground beef?
We all loved this. In the past taco soups I have made had a ton of beans in them which my husband hated. This was well flavored and filling. We will making this again soon.
