    Tips for Cooking with kids

    There are a few things that make this an EASY kids recipe.

    1. Have all of your ingredients prepared and laid out before starting. Accidents happen when you have your back turned to get a new ingredient or chop something up. Avoid this by having it ready at the beginning.
    2. Cook on the back burner of your cook top, or have the pot closest to you and furthest from where the child is standing.
    3. Explain to the child(ren) before starting the dangers and responsibilities with helping cook.
    4. Pre cook the meat and use a slow cooker to cook this meal. It is much more hands off but it still has the kids involved and is safer.

    Frequently Asked Questions about Taco Soup

    Can I freeze taco soup?

    Yes, this actually freezes really well! I like to freeze it in individual portions and then place in fridge to defrost. Once defrosted I microwave it to reheat and add toppings before eating.

    I find this salty, how can I cut down the sodium?

    Use low sodium broth, low sodium taco seasoning and if its still too salty add half a cup of water.

    What other protein can I use in taco soup?

    Ground Chicken or Turkey. Shredded Beef or Chicken.

    How long does taco soup take in the slow cooker?

    Brown the meat and then add all of the ingredients into your slow cooker. Cook on low for 4-6 hours or cook on high for 1.5-2.5 hours. You can read more about slow cooker conversion times here.
