One Pot Vegan Creamy “Beef” Taco Soup
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Raw cashews, soaked*
- 1 Tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 Pound(16oz) Vegan ground "beef", I used Beyond Beef
- 4 Cloves Garlic, chopped
- 1/2 a Sweet onion, diced
- 1/2 Cup Sweet or bell peppers, diced
- 1 teaspoon Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 Can(15oz) Crushed tomatoes
- 4 Cups Vegetable broth
- 1 Can(15oz) Corn, drained
- 1 Can(15oz) Black beans, drained
- 1 Cup Non-dairy milk, unsweetened I used oat milk
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- Your favorite taco toppings
Instructions
- Once you have soaked your cashews and are ready to make the soup, heat the olive oil on medium high in a large soup pot.
- Add the vegan ground "beef" and break it up into chunks with a wooden spoon.
- Sauté for a minute to start to brown the "beef", then add the garlic, onion and peppers. As well as a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Continue to sauté, reducing the heat as needed until the "beef" is brown and the onions are translucent. About 5 minutes.
- Pour the lime juice into the pot, and use that to deglaze the pot and scrape any bits that are stuck to the bottom.
- Sprinkle in the cumin, smoked paprika and chili powder and stir them into the "beef".
- Pour in the crushed tomatoes and vegetable broth. Stir to combine.
- Add the corn, black beans and another pinch of salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low and let simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- While the soup simmers, make a cashew cream. Drain the cashews you soaked and then add them to a blender. Pour the non-dairy milk and a pinch of salt into the blender as well.
- Blend on high, scraping down the sides as needed until the cashew cream is completely smooth.
- Once the soup has simmered for 10 to 15 minutes, pour the cashew cream you made into the pot and stir to combine everything.
- Taste and adjust seasonings, adding more salt, pepper or lime juice if needed.
- Serve with all your favorite taco toppings!

This soup is so easy and absolutely delicious! The only change I made was I added kale for some green. Thanks for this wonderful recipe.
I saw this recipe online just last night& was so happy I had the day off today. And. IT IS SO GOOD. can’t wait for my family to try it. I added just some diced green zucchini & small cauliflower florets bc I had to use them up soon. And a little cayenne. Kept the rest exactly the same, used Impossible ground. We’re going to have it over rice with some cilantro, red onions, maybe even some shredded vegan cheddar. thanks again. Really. oh, and uses just one pot (minus what you use to make the cashew cream). easy clean up to boot. pretty a much perfect soup.
Made this soup along with the corn salsa corn bread. Very delicious, I added raw jalepeno for extra spice and pinto beans instead of beyond beef.
This is so delicious!! My partner who eats meat loves it too. I was trying to find this on Pinterest so I could find it easily and make it again, but I couldn’t find it.
Made this last night – a cold, rainy night – and it was fabulous!! Definitely adding this to the meal rotation, Also made the Corn Salsa Drop Biscuits. Yum!!!!
Wonderful post
