Frequently asked questions
To make dairy-free creamy taco soup, simply add coconut cream! It gives it a super-rich and creamy taste and texture. And I promise, no coconut taste will be detected!
Yes! It can easily be doubled or tripled, then stored covered in the fridge for up to 4 days, or can be stored in an air-tight container in the freezer for up to 6 months. I like to store it in individual-sized containers for easy reheating.
Tomatoes are naturally high in carbs, so the carbs are on the high side, but this soup could still be worked into a keto diet if eaten in moderation. You can try to replace the diced tomatoes with a 14.5 oz can to reduce the carbs to 7g per serving; however, I have not tried this.
You can! Press the Saute button on the Instant Pot. Then, add the oil, onion, and bell pepper and saute until tender. Then, add the beef, breaking it up with a wooden spoon until browned. Add all the remaining ingredients except the coconut cream. Press the Cancel button. Then, cook on high pressure for 10 minutes. Release the pressure manually, stir the coconut cream, and serve hot!
Easy steps
Start by cooking an onion and bell pepper in a large pot until tender.
Then, add a pound of ground beef (I prefer organic and grass-fed) and cook until browned. Drain off fat if desired.
Add the seasonings, diced tomatoes, coconut cream, and green chilies. Bring soup to a boil. Then, cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Serve hot!
And that's it!! Super simple but delicious whole30 taco soup!!!

Storage
- Store: Store covered in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.
- Freeze: Freezer in a freezer-safe container (I prefer individual portions) for up to 6 months.
- Reheat: Gently reheat on the stove or in the microwave until heated through. If frozen, thaw before reheating.
Tips and substitutions
- To save time, you can replace the seasonings with a packet of taco seasoning from the store. Then, add an additional ¼ tsp. of garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon onion powder, and ¼ teaspoon dill. I prefer to use my seasonings because many taco seasoning packets have added ingredients I don't care for, but some brands are available with clean ingredients.
- For the coconut cream, I recommend using Thai Kitchen, Sprouts, or Native Forrest brands. Other brands may not separate well or leave a funny aftertaste.
- Not dairy-free? Simply replace the coconut cream with heavy cream and serve the whole30 soup with sour cream and shredded cheese.

- Once finished cooking, release the pressure manually by moving the pressure valve to "Venting".

Can I ask a quick question about this recipe. If you use coconut cream do you have to put it in the fridge overnight? Or is this just coconut milk? And if you do need to put the cream in, do you scoop out the top or the bottom? Sorry I’ve never used it before in a recipe. Thank you

Hi Sarah!
No problem at all!!! Yes, you should put it in the fridge overnight for the cream and liquid to separate. Sometimes it's separated when you buy it (you can gently shake it to see if it's liquid or mostly cream) but it's not a guarantee, which is why I recommend refrigerating, and some brands separate better than others. Then, after it's separated, you can just scoop the cream off the top of the can. I hope this helps answer your question!
Enjoy the recipe!!!
XO,
Cassidy
