Y’all.

This.

This is a fabulous soup.

It’s your basic taco soup…with a little extra taco seasoning and a swirl of sour cream right before you serve it!

It needs more taco seasoning because the sour cream tames it down a little. So we’re adding a touch more than if it didn’t have the sour cream.

Balance.

It’s all about the creamy-spicy balance.

Let these flavors and ingredients hang out in the slow cooker all day and then swirl in the sour cream just before serving. Add some crushed tortilla chips and cheese on top, and you have yourself a perfect bowl of comfort soup for a chilly fall/winter evening!

Enjoy!

    Just something I’ve noticed, a block of cream cheese, or even just half a block, may be a creamier constancy than sour cream. But still top it with sour cream for that amazing tang!
    Love the recipe!!
