This easy vegetarian taco soup is a weeknight winner! Filled with black beans, tomatoes, and plenty of spices, this soup has all your favorite flavors in one bowl!

I could eat tacos every day of the week. When I’m craving tacos and I want something a little healthier, I go for this taco soup! It’s full of flavor and it’s such an easy one-pot meal recipe. Yes, only one dish to clean! You’re welcome.

This soup is similar to a vegetarian chili recipe but the flavor definitely says taco night. It’s also the perfect backdrop to let your family or significant other customize it to their palate. I’ll give you plenty of ideas for toppings!

Vegetarian Taco Soup Topping Ideas

• Crumbled feta cheese
• Shredded cheddar cheese
• Sliced avocado
• Splash of hot sauce
• A dollop of sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
• Chopped cilantro

I’m loving McCormick’s taco seasoningin here and I’m excited to try some of the other McCormick spice blends! It makes it easier to whip up something packed with flavor! Just pair it with things like quinoa, veggies (or even lean meats if that’s your thing) and you’ve got a flavorful dinner you can feel good about!

Substitution Ideas

• Black Beans & Pinto Beans– Feel free to substitute black beans or pinto beans for chickpeas! You could even do one can of each. Or you can do all black beans or all pinto beans. Either way, you’ll have a hearty soup!
• Corn– You can use fresh, canned, or frozen. I typically use frozen because that’s what I tend to have on hand. But any kind will do!
• Avocado– If you don’t have a ripe avocado on hand, you can skip this as a topping. Try one of the other topping suggestions instead!

Taco Soup Serving Suggestions

• Try serving this vegetarian taco soup with chips and guacamole! I have a 5 ingredient guacamole recipe that is quick and easy.
• Pair it with this Mexican Street Corn Salad! This salad can be served with chips or eaten as a side dish!

My personal favorite toppings are avocado, feta, and fresh cilantro. I actually made this soup ahead of time because it’s perfect to reheat for dinner or leftover lunches. This is definitely going to be a weeknight favorite because clean up was a breeze. The last thing I want to do after working all day is clean up a sink full of dishes. Who’s with me?

Tips for taco soup leftovers

• Top individual bowls with avocado, feta, and fresh cilantro. Those toppings don’t store well and can make the soup spoil faster, so add them to the both when you’re ready to eat!
• When storing soup, let it cool down before placing in the fridge or freezer. If you put a hot pot of soup in the fridge or freezer, it can lower the overall temperature inside, which can be dangerous for food storage.
• If you want to freeze it, you can freeze it in one glass container or divide it into single servings for a quick lunch option whenever you need it!
