Whether you are eating low-carb, gluten-free, or a keto diet, this crock pot low-carb taco soup is sure to leave all loving it regardless of if you are on a diet or not.
I love easy recipes that don’t take a ton of steps, dishes or hard to find ingredients. I think this is why I was drawn to a simple taco soup. This crock pot low carb taco soup needs five simple ingredients and a few hours simmering to give you an amazing soup for lunch or supper.
Crock Pot Low-Carb Taco Soup
Five ingredients. Well, five if you lump spices into one ingredient. Here is the thing with this soup, use the seasonings you like. But here is the base ingredients.
Start with browning sausage. We used a combination of hot sausage as well as ground pork. You can easily use breakfast sausage in this or even ground beef. While the meat is browning, fill your crock pot with cream cheese, Rotel and taco seasonings of your choice. When it comes to taco seasonings, I made up my own with garlic salt, adobo seasoning, and chipotle pepper powder. You could use just taco seasoning in your meat like you are making tacos.
Mix the browned meat into the cheese, Rotel, and seasoning and spices you had to a crock pot set to high. Stir to combine and then pour in chicken broth. You may want to add a little broth at a time to determine how thin you like your soup. Cook on high for two to three hours or low for four to six hours.
As one of my friends who tried this recipe said, it is like a soupy queso! Seriously, does life get any better than eating queso with a spoon and getting away with it. Besides being full of cream cheese, I went ahead and topped with shredded cheese and stirred in some dried cilantro before serving. If you have fresh cilantro, feel free to use fresh too.
Go ahead and make yourself a bowl of crock pot low-carb taco soup. You won’t regret it!

Nutritional Value based on 8 servings in the recipe
The Taco Soup is SOOOO good! Thanks!
Do you have a list of the macros? Or maybe just the carb count per serving?
That would all depend on brands you use I would believe. Not all are created equal.
When you put this into My Fitness Pal using your specific ingredients it will give you nutrition values per serving. When I put it in using my ingredients, it says 8g of carbs, 436 calories, 69g of fat, and 27g of protein. The net carbs would be 6g — 8g of carbs – 1g of fiber.
How much is the servinng??..
That would super helpful! I’m drooling over here 😉
There are 8 servings and 5 carbs per serving. I have added nutritional information above.
How many cups in a serving?
This is very yum I added 2 oz of broccoli and 2 ounces of califlower
That sounds amazing!
Couls you add pasta to this ?
Not and keep it low carb!
I bet stirring irised cauliflower at the very end would be great too!
I didn’t have cilantro and made it anyway! DELICOUS!!
how many carbs in a bowl of this soup.thank you lisa wood
5 carbs in one bowl
how many carbs are in a bowl of this soup please?
5 carbs in one bowl
How many servings does this make? I made it but don’t know how to log the calories, thanks!
How much is one serving?
One cup is how measured a serving
This is delicious! I did not change the recipe at all. Note: I used Cooper brand cream cheese. I cut the pieces small, but it still Wasn’t fully melted after 2.5 hours on high. I used a whisk to stir, and wa-la…that did the trick. Will definitely make this again.
How much is one serving of this soup?
One cup is a serving.
Your taco seasoning blend sounds good. What amounts of each did you mix together (how much garlic salt, how much ancho chili pepper and how much adobo seasoning) Thank You
Amazing! Definitely a keeper!
Does anyone know the service size?
I meant serving size.
A serving size is one cup
The answer to that question has been posted no less than 5 times that a serving size is one cup!
How do I make this soup thicker? It came out a bit watery.
I was looking thru comments to see if I should drain the juice from the rotel… your comment leads me to believe maybe I should?
It is totally fine to drain the juice.
Decreasing the broth would be the best solution.
I can I make this soup thicker? I really like the soup. Just wish it was thicker.
Don’t add as much broth?
Decreasing the broth would help make it thinner.
Why would it become thinner if you use less broth? Would seem to me it would be thicker. I just don’t get your response. Please explain.
Less liquid (broth) makes the soup thicker. If you want it thinner, you’d add more liquid (broth.)
Not sure how else that can be explained.
So easy! So yummy! I crumbled gluten-free corn chips on top with shredded cheese!
how many carbs are in a bowl of this taco soup?
There are 5 carbs in one cup of the soup
SMH 5 carbs per serving and a serving size is one cup and this makes 8 servings. Doesn’t anybody know how to read anymore? Sorry but the same three questions have been asked over and over with the answers right in front of them.
Have you ever tried freezing it?
No I have not, but would think it would work just fine.
This is really good and so easy. I didn’t go slow cooker route, just browned meat in pan and put everything else in separate soup pot on the stove then added the meat once it was browned and drained, simmered on stove for a little while and done! It is delicious! Thanks for a tasty and simple recipe.
YUM! YUM! YUM! I made this for dinner tonight and it is really good, delicious!
Made this tonight…it was FANTASTIC!!! A homerun for this house of 5! Didn’t miss anything by eating this, was slightly surprised how good it really was without the usual stuff in it! Thank u!
Do you drain the rotel?
Looks really good but awfully high in sodium which I have to restrict. RoTel makes a low sodium and most of the other ingredients could substitute low sodium versions to adapt to my diet.
I am curious about you measurements for the taco spices too!! Would love to know how much of each ! This looks amazing and I would love to fix it!!
I subbed 1 pound of chicken tenders for 1 of the pounds of pork
Thanks for the recipe
Lisa
I made this soup for dinner so yummy 😋 and my husband even ate some! I did use turkey sausage.
I am going to make this tonight but I am going to use chicken breast instead of beef or pork. Sounds delicious and I can’t wait!
Do you think I can freeze this?
This soup was extremely easy and turned out perfect. It has become our new favorite soup and crockpot recipe. We will be making it quite often.
