How to make Instant Pot Taco Soup:
This recipe is quick and easy!
Press the Sauté button on your Instant Pot. Add the meat and cook it until it is cooked through.
Add the taco seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper and continue cooking until the meat is browned.
Next, add the Ranch packet, Rotel, green chiles, and chicken broth and stir. Bring the broth to a slow simmer and then add all of the beans and stir well.
Add the can of diced tomatoes, but don’t stir. This is IMPORTANT. Mixing the tomatoes could result in a BURN notice.
Finally, place the lid on the pot and lock in place. Turn the knob to sealing.
Cancel the Sauté setting and then press the Pressure Cook/Manual button. Set the cook time for 6 minutes.
When cooking time is up, allow the Instant Pot to natural release for 15 minutes. Then quick release any remaining pressure.
Add the tortillas (if desired) and the corn. Stir well and let sit for a few minutes, stirring occasionally to help dissolve some of the tortillas.
Garnish and serve.

- sour cream
- cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
- tortilla chips
- diced avocado
- diced red onion, diced
- jalapeño
Concerned about Sodium?
If you’re concerned about the sodium content in this meal, you try using a low-sodium chicken broth. Also, check your beans. Sometimes you can find low-sodium canned beans as well.
Another tip is not to add the salt with the other ingredients. You can always season as needed at the end.

How would you reduce this for the 3qt Instant pot?
You can just cut the recipe in half.
Have you ever frozen it? I love making this but for the two us it’s a lot and I’d love to freeze but wanted to ask if anyone has and are the beans still good? Not mushy?
This taco soup will freeze great in a freezer bag or airtight freezer container.
Do you drain the meat first or is that part of the liquid for the “broth”?
You will want to drain your grease first.
Loaded Taco Soup was OUTstanding. It is so flavorful and easy to make! The InstaPot is a game changer. Kids and adults loved this at my house. This recipe has made its way into the regular rotation and the best part, I get to have it for leftovers. I used Bone Broth for a richer flavor and omitted the Kidney beans, but made sure to add the Ranch seasoning. Thank you for such a great recipe.
Hi Karyn. This is what we LOVE to hear. So glad the whole bunch loved the taco soup! We love to hear how recipes are tweaked for your own tastes! Bone Broth sounds delicious!
When recipe says Rotel. Is that tomatoes with green chilis even though recipe also had a can of green chilies?
Am I able to double this recipe for my 8 quart instant pot?
We made this in the 6 quart and it was pretty full.
You can add the tomatoes with green chilis, or plain tomatoes. It won’t make that big of a difference. Whichever you prefer.
Holy lord! This recipe was by far the best Taco Soup recipe I’ve ever made! About to email this link to my daughter.
We are so glad you like it! It’s quick and easy and SO delicious!
This was yummy and very filling . Normally i dont add much liquid in my taco soup,but i love the ” soupiness” of this. I loved the garbanzo beans!!I made it on a cool,gloomy night and it was perfect!
Love!! It was so great that I had seconds. My husband loved it too.
DELICIOUS!!! Will definitely make this again.
If I don’t have an Instant Pot, how would you adapt this for stovetop cooking?
You can follow the same recipe, but let the soup simmer for about 15 minutes before adding in the torillas
Great flavor! Will be a regular for us too!
