Slow Cooker Nacho Soup
Flavor packed slow cooker cheesy beef nacho soup! Enjoy the taste of nachos in a comforting soup, perfect for any night of the week!
I was on such a roll reading over the summer. Literally book after book. I’d finish one and immediately pick up another to start. For whatever reason, even though I have the mornings completely to myself now, I haven’t found myself reading to the same degree. I feel like I need to dedicate a day or certain hour or two of the day to just sit down and read. Do you ever do that… schedule a time to read or do anything else in particular, just to set aside “me (you)” time?
Another ‘over the summer’ tale… we have wetlands on our property but by July, every year, they dry up. This causes the frogs to venture into the pool. We would eject them daily… scooping them up and transferring them elsewhere. Of course, they always returned, but it gave us a frog free pool to swim in. Now, a massive softball sized bullfrog has taken up residency. I mean, this thing is seriously enormous. It’s probably the largest frog I’ve ever seen. Good thing swimming season is long gone, it’s going to be a nightmare to get that one out of the pool!
This soup is ridiculously good. I’m not exaggerating in the slightest! I had high hopes for this soup and it met all of my expectations.
Enjoy the flavors of nachos in an easy and comforting soup! It tastes just like you’re eating nachos, but in soup form! So insanely good. I can’t get enough of it and neither can one of my kids. She’s obsessed. When it’s gone, I’m positive she’ll be asking me to make another batch.
Easy cheesy slow cooker nacho soup, packed full of beef and veggies. A perfect weeknight meal!

Delicious!!! The only change I made was using RoTel instead of diced tomatoes. I followed your advice and shredded my own cheese.
So glad you enjoyed the soup, Steph!
Do you think you could make this in an instant pot? If so, how?
It’s likely possible but I don’t have instructions for you.
It was delicious and I felt like it was an appetizer to dip chips in – which is what my family did, and it was enjoyed.
I doubled the recipe because I have a big family and my 6 quart crockpot was bursting and had to take some out. So careful if you double-your crockpot has the volume to handle.
I frozen some and later a few weeks tested the frozen sample thawing it in the refrigerator. It wasn’t as good the first time but kept well.
Will make again but way less and use it as more of dip for chips as it was fantastic that way.
So glad everyone has enjoyed it, Kelso! Thank you for sharing! :)
This is the second time making this soup. My husband and I both love it. I usually double a recipe to share some with our kids, but I’m so glad I didn’t. No way it would have fit in my Crock Pot! We are having very cold weather in Florida so this will hit the spot tonight 😋
So glad you both enjoyed it! Stay warm! :)
This soup is delicious. It is different from the normal Taco soup. Makes a lot but I freeze the leftovers and it’s even better heated up.
So glad you’ve enjoyed the soup, Tempie! Thank you for sharing! :)
A family favorite for quite some time now! Delicious!
So glad you’ve enjoyed it, Sarah!
Sooo good. I made it 4 days ago and it gets better every time I eat it!
So glad you’ve enjoyed the soup, Dee!
Delicious!
So glad you enjoyed it, Lori!
We love this soup. It makes enough for two to eat twice and two more meals in the freezer for later. I use hot rotel I place of the diced tomatoes.
So glad you enjoyed it!
Do you think you could use shredded chicken?
If that’s what you have on hand, you could definitely swap it for that. The flavor and overall texture will change but it’ll still be equally delicious.
I hav been making your recipe for probably 4 years. I cannot believe it has so few reviews. It is perfection. Every person I make it for asks for the recipe. Even husband and toddler approved.
So glad everyone has enjoyed the soup, Amber! Thank you for sharing! :)
