Description
Slow Cooker Nacho Soup is a hearty, cheesy, and slightly spicy comfort food packed with ground beef, beans, veggies, and bold Tex-Mex flavors. Perfect for a no-fuss meal, this rich and creamy soup is made entirely in the Crockpot for easy weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
1 lb ground beef, cooked and drained
1 cup yellow onion, chopped
1 cup green bell pepper, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 jalapeño, seeded and diced
15 oz canned corn, drained
15 oz black beans, drained and rinsed
15 oz petite diced tomatoes, drained
1 ½ tsp chili powder
1 ½ tsp salt
1 tsp ground black pepper
1/8 tsp red pepper flakes
3 ½ cups chicken or beef broth
8 oz cheddar cheese, shredded
1 cup heavy cream
3–4 tbsp all-purpose flour
Chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
1. In a 5-6 quart slow cooker, combine cooked ground beef, onion, bell pepper, garlic, jalapeño, corn, black beans, tomatoes, chili powder, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Pour in the chicken or beef broth and stir gently to mix.
2. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or low for 8 hours.
3. Once the cooking time is up, stir in the shredded cheddar cheese.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and flour until smooth. Pour the mixture into the slow cooker and stir to combine.
5. Cover and cook for an additional 30 minutes on high to allow the soup to thicken.
6. Serve warm, garnished with chopped green onions. Pair with tortilla chips for added crunch.
Notes
For a spicier version, keep the jalapeño seeds or add hot sauce.
Use ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
Make it gluten-free by using cornstarch instead of flour.
Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days and freeze beautifully for up to 3 months.
