This nacho soup includes ground beef, onion, red bell pepper, garlic, and jalapeños, along with frozen corn, black beans, and Rotel tomatoes. It’s seasoned with chili powder, cayenne, salt, and black pepper. The base is made with chicken stock and thickened with a flour and heavy cream mixture. Shredded cheddar cheese is stirred in at the end for a smooth, cheesy finish.
Recipe Swaps
To use chicken instead of beef, just add 2 chicken breasts to the slow cooker at the beginning of the cooking time. Shred just before serving.
To make spicy, add one diced habanero or a couple dashed of hot sauce.
If you want to lower the carbs, use a block of cream cheese instead of the roux.
How to Make Nacho Soup
This from scratch soup only has four steps! See how I make it in the crockpot below:
Step One – Place the cooked and drained ground beef into your slow cooker. Add the onion, bell pepper, garlic, jalapeños, corn, black beans, Rotel, and all the seasonings. Pour in the stock and stir everything together. Cover and cook on HIGH for 4 hours or LOW for 6 to 8 hours.
Step Two – About 5 minutes before the cook time ends, whisk the heavy cream and flour together in a small bowl until smooth.
Step Three – Pour the cream mixture into the slow cooker and give it a good stir.
Step Four – Add the shredded cheese over the soup and cover again. Let it cook for another 30 minutes, or until thickened to your liking. Serve with your favorite toppings or sides.
How to Serve Nacho Soup
Serve this soup warm with corn tortilla chips, charred flour tortillas, or cornbread.
For toppings, consider diced tomatoes, sour cream, Mexican blend cheese, fresh cilantro, diced avocado, and hot sauce.
Make this recipe serve more by ladling the soup over white rice.
