View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

The secret to this popular taco soup recipe? A can of beer... among other things. But don't fret if you're not a fan of hops. Reviewer Diane Cantrell says, "I couldn't detect a 'beer' taste in the soup at all and found it to be a bit on the mild side. Everyone in my family loved it. I made another pot for tailgating — it was the most popular dish."

"A supremely filling, hearty soup. I serve this on cold rainy days with a loaf of homemade bread," says recipe creator Stephanie G. "Hint: this is perfect for leftover rotisserie chicken or chicken you've pulled from the bone after making homemade chicken stock! This soup makes great leftovers, but you might want to thin it slightly with skim milk or water when reheating."
