Vegan Slow Cooker Taco Soup

Prep time15 min

Cook time4 hr

This hearty, spoon-friendly soup builds its flavor from a well-seasoned base of onion, green bell pepper, and garlic, simmered low and slow until everything melds into a deeply savory bowl. Black beans, kidney beans, and sweet corn add heartiness and texture, while two kinds of diced tomatoes — one spiked with green chiles — bring a smoky, tangy kick to every spoonful. The slow cooker does all the work here, letting the seasoning blend soak into the broth for hours until the soup turns rich and stew-like. Ladle it into bowls with chopped fresh cilantro and a handful of crushed tortilla chips for crunch, and you've got a satisfying, crowd-pleasing dinner. It's a genuinely solid pick for a vegan table, easy to make ahead and even better the next day.

Chef's tip
Pick the form that matches the recipe - a raw, moldable ground for patties, meatballs, or meatloaf; crumbles only for loose browned meat. Cook it in the recipe like the meat, checking doneness against the package guidance.
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 packet (1 oz) taco seasoning
1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix

1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, with juices
1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chiles, with juices

Chef's tip
Use the same amount of low-sodium vegetable broth. The dish will be a little lighter in flavor than with chicken broth.
