I’ve mentioned before that when I think about my grandpa (always just Papaw in my mind), the memories always include the smell of beans simmering on the stove.
Papaw didn’t think too far outside the box, but there are so many ways to get creative with beans!
For this yummy 15 Bean Taco Soup I used Hurst’sยฎ HamBeensยฎ 15 Bean Soupยฎ to create this easy 15 bean taco soup recipe.
The 15 Bean Soup mix is one of many delicious Hurst’s varieties, in the dry beans section of your local grocery store. I get mine at Kroger!

This 15 Bean Taco Soup has great flavor. It’s not too spicy, and pairs perfectly with a variety of toppings.
We enjoy ours with avocado slices, fresh cilantro, and cheese.
Sour cream and tortilla chips would also be an amazing addition to your bowl.
15 Bean Soup with Ground Beef
While you may be accustomed to cooking your 15 Bean Soup with ham, you’re going to love ground beef, too.
If you want to lighten this soup up a little, you could also make it with ground turkey or leftover holiday turkey.

15 Bean Soup Mix
I love the colorful variety of beans in every bag of Hurst’sยฎ HamBeensยฎ 15 Bean Soupยฎ.
If you’ve ever wondered which beans are included in a 15-bean soup mix, you’ll get at least 15 of these varieties: Northern, Pinto, Large Lima, Blackeye, Garbanzo, Baby Lima, Green Split, Kidney, Cranberry, Small White, Pink, Small Red, Yellow Split, Lentil, Navy, White Kidney, Black Bean, Yellow Eye.
I love feeding my family such a variety of nutritious beans.

In fact, in addition to this tasty 15 bean taco soup, I have quite a few other recipes using Hurst’sยฎ HamBeensยฎ 15 Bean Soupยฎ.

I would love to hear from you! Make sure to leave your review below and follow on Pinterest for more!
Do you add the dry ranch seasoning like other taco soup recipes call for?
There is no ranch seasoning in this recipe.
Did you use the flavor packet that comes with the beans?
Do we use the flavoring packet that comes with the beans or do we just set it aside?
It is delicious! I made it for church dinner tomorrow. It made a lot!
This looks delicious! I bet you could convert it for making in an Instant Pot.
Itโs delicious. ย I added a tsp of crushed red pepper and one small can of V8 juice. ย Have you tried freezing it?ย
I was wondering how you would go about converting this to cook in the Instant Pot. I have fibromyalgia as well as spells of vertigo from migraines. Standing at a stove for any length of time is difficult sometimes and my IP’s (I’m lucky and have all 3 sizes of the duo model!) have been such a blessing for those times. I’m not experienced at converting recipes though. Any help you’d be able to give me would be very much appreciated! Thank you in advance.
You brought a little tear to my eye when you mentioned about growing up in the Appalachianโs and the smell of beans simmering on the stove. Spent my summers with my papaw and mamaw in the coal fields of southern WV. ย Most every evening after playing cards or games with my cousins and my little brother, mamaw would say bed time. ย But first we got to clean the beans, she would dump a bag on the table and to us it was another game and time spent with mamaw.
This looks so yummy! Iโm so making this for the kiddies!
This so good. I’m not from the Appalachia but I am from a southern farming family. My mom always had to feed working men a good lunch and this recipe reminds me of one her recipes. She never wrote anything down. She just knew what she wanted in the pot. No one ever walked away from her table hungry. Thank you for the trip down memory lane. (Served with cornbread. Mmmmmmm yummy)!!!
