Pressure Cooker Taco Soup
Looking for a super quick and delicious meal? This pressure cooker taco soup has become a family favorite. I love how easy it is to make, and that there are never any left overs because the family loves it.
Ingredients:
1 pound lean ground beef
1 yellow onion, diced
2 cans Sweet Corn with liquid
2 can Mexican-style diced tomatoes with liquid
2 cans Black beans, drained and rinsed
2 cans Pinto beans, drained and rinsed
2 cans Red or White Kidney beans, drained and rinsed
2 cans Great Northern beans, drained and rinsed
2 cups water
1 package Taco Seasoning Mix
1 package Ranch Salad Dressing Mix (not the dip mix)
Optional Garnishes to Offer:
– Avocado slices
– Sour cream
– Shredded cheese
– Salsa or fresh Pico
– Chopped Cilantro leaves
– Tortilla strips or chips
Directions:
1. Set up pressure cooker and press saute button to heat liner.
2. Once the pressure cooker display reads “HOT”, add the ground beef and diced onion, cooking until the ground beef is thoroughly cooked.
3. Depending on the fat in the ground beef, drain if needed and return to pressure cooker.
4. Combine the water, taco seasoning and ranch dressing mix in a medium bowl and mix well. Add to the ground beef and onion mixture.
5. Add the tomatoes including the liquid in cans.
6. Place the Black beans, Pinto beans, Red or White Kidney beans, and Great Northern beans into a colander and drain and rinse well.
7. Add the beans to the pressure cooker.
8. Gently stir to combine the soup mixture.
9. Set and lock lid in place making sure to push the venting knob into the closed (or sealed) position depending on your pressure cooker unit.
10. Press the soup button or manual button depending on your pressure cooker display and adjust time to 5 minutes.
11. Once the cooking time is over, allow the pressure to naturally release for at least 10 minutes to allow the foam from cooking beans to settle.
12. Finish releasing the pressure and stir well before serving.
Serve with optional garnishes as desired.
Note: did you know that you can cook ground beef in bulk and freeze? This saves so much time because you can grab right from freezer and toss in soups. Here is our favorite recipe for Make Ahead Ground Beef.
Looking for other pressure cooker recipes? We have a large list of our favorite recipes that have been adapted to be perfect for the pressure cooker.
Still thinking about buying a pressure cooker? We recommend the Instant Pot or the Power Pressure Cooker XL. Both are super simple to use, but in my opinion the Instant Pot offers a few more features and is a little more user friendly. Both however are solid units and work great!

This looks delish! And easy to make!!
I would love to try this soup looks like amazing one to try
It sounds like a delicious recipe.
I don’t have a pressure cooker. I wonder if I could do this in a slow cooker instead? It looks really delicious!
Yes you can cook most Instant Pot recipes in a slow cooker. Normal time would be 8-10 on low or 4-6 on high.
What else is in your recipe collection?
I grilled beer brats for supper, more fresh asparagus and lettuce from the garden. No soup for me.
I would love to try this recipe I bought the cooker and have not tried it yet. I even have these items on hand now.
Taco soup sounds and looks so good. I don’t use my Instant Pot often but I really would like to try making me some Taco Soup! Thank you for sharing this recipe. I will be looking through your blog for other amazing recipes!
I’ve never made taco soup before looks delicious
I need a recipe for ground pork. What do you suggest?
You can change out any ground beef with ground pork, chicken or turkey.
Everything looks delicious!
Oh wow. This looks incredible. And with all this time on my hands to try new things, I am putting this at the top of my list.
Sounds like a good Friday evening supper, especially when it gets cold.
Do you have a smoker, and what do you use it for
It looks delicious. I am going to try it.
I love Taco Soup, probably my favorite soup, but I have never tried it in a pressure cooker.
Have you made asparagus soup
Save more time to cook Thanks for the recipe
A lot of ingredients
Taco soup. It sounds terrible, but looks delicious!
I agree the name sounds strange. But it is delicious!
I used ground turkey. But i must admit ive never thought to make tacos into soup..good one im going to have to try!
While the name sounds strange…the soup is delicious. Try it!
I am always looking for new recipes for my instant pot and my family loves anything Mexican! This sounds delicious!
The Taco Soup recipe looks simple. I would cut the corn to one can and add Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes and some cut up yellow and red peppers to the recipe and serve it all over rice.
I bet that would be a great modification. Going to give it a try.
I love this!
Yummy!! Love soup and love tacos so this sounds perfect!!
Will have to try
Instead of the meat, potatoes and gravy my husband loves , I like a recipe with a little kick and flavor like this one
wow, sounds delish
Have made this before with a dollop of sour cream and a side of corn chios .
I love sour cream on mine too. One of my guys likes to crumble corn chips in a bowl and put this over them.
I love a good taco soup. Thanks for sharing!
This looks amazing! I may have to make some or just me- I wish the family liked taco soup!
I love me some taco soup.
Time for a new recipe
Serve with corn chips
It would be better without the whole kernel corn
I used ground pork.
Don’t add the whole kernel corn.
This looks so good. Thanks for sharing
This soup looks delicious my husband would love it.
This sounds so delicious! I’ll have to get these ingredients from the store, during my next grocery trip.
