Slow Cooker or Instant Pot Beef Taco Soup

This colorful beef taco soup freezer meal can be cooked in the Instant Pot or slow cooker. It is so easy to throw together. Hearty soups are great for cold winter days or drizzly summer ones.

It’s nice to have a few bags of this soup in the freezer. It’s such a simple but filling meal and I always love a meal that has multiple cooking options.
