Alright, foodies, gather around! I’ve got a game-changer for your taco night – an Instant Pot Taco Soup that’s anything but ordinary. Picture this: ground beef or turkey sizzling in the Instant Pot, teaming up with diced onions for a dance of savory perfection. The kitchen fills with an aroma that’s pure bliss.

But here’s where the plot thickens – bell peppers, black beans, kidney beans, and sweet corn enter the scene. Each ingredient plays a role, turning this into a flavor-packed fiesta that’ll make your taste buds do a happy dance.

Hold on tight because diced tomatoes with green chilies take center stage, adding a spicy twist that elevates the soup to a whole new level. Cue the seasoning trio – taco seasoning, cumin, and smoked paprika – turning this pot of goodness into a symphony of taste.

Don’t rush to the grand finale just yet. Pour in the broth, let it mingle with all the party-goers, and watch as the dance transforms into a heartwarming soup that’s as comforting as it is delicious.

Seal the deal with a lid, cook it up under high pressure for 10 minutes, then release the pressure for a big reveal. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and let it rest for 10 minutes to let the flavors meld.

Now comes the best part – serving! Hot bowls filled to the brim with this flavor explosion. But wait, there’s more – toppings! Shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, sliced green onions, chopped cilantro, and tortilla strips for that satisfying crunch. Don’t forget a squeeze of lime for that perfect finish.
