Our twist on the original taco soup recipe, this cozy high-fiber meal comes together in no time with a base of flavorful, aromatic pasta sauce made from organic California-grown tomatoes. To make this soup even higher in fiber, add an extra can of beans or 1 cup of cooked lentils. Serve it as-is or garnish your taco soup with an array of festive toppings like shredded cheese, diced avocado, or sour cream.

If you’re tired of the typical meat-in-shells Taco Tuesday repeat, this mouthwatering taco soup will spice up your routine. Thanks to the shortcut of using Primal Kitchen Tomato Basil Marinara as a base, it comes together in about a half-hour — no endless simmering or crock pot watching required. This premium pasta sauce is made with California-grown tomatoes for a fresh taste that’s just like homemade.
We added beans to the mix and used lean ground poultry or beef to help you meet (or should we say “meat”) your fiber and protein goals for the day. Customize it to your family’s tastes by swapping black beans with pinto, changing up the meat, and tweaking the heat level with mild or hot taco seasoning. Pair your chicken taco soup with grain-free chips for dipping and dunking, or try a drizzle of our Avocado Lime Sauce on the beef version for a zesty finish.
