This recipe takes carne asada flavors and turns them into a soup. Flavorful and filling, this slow cooker soup is super easy and healthy too.
This is another recipe I’ve been thinking about for a while now. It’s so simple I don’t know why I never got around to actually making it until now. I love carne asada (Mexican food in general) and it’s officially soup season.
I said simple right? Throw everything, stir and let it cook. These are the best type of slow cooker recipes. It’s what they’re made for in my opinion.
If you’re going to use dry beans then be sure to pre-soak them.
You can make this in your Instant Pot as well!! Throw everything in your pressure cooker, (saute the meat if you want to, I wouldn’t take the time), stir, and set it to manual for 30 minutes. Quick release and serve!

I have some left over carne asada that I grilled still medium rare. Will it break down the meat so it’s tender at 30min in an instantpot?
While I’m no expert, I believe so. I would perhaps wait until it’s done cooking & drop the meat in and let it cook in sauté until it’s warmed through or cooked to your liking.
I think I’ll try this, but think I’ll grill or cook the meat in some way first to perhaps add some flavor to it or tenderize it or texturize it a bit. Just a thought.
I love slow cooker meals so will definitely add this on my to-do list. Hubby is a big fan of Mexican so this sounds perfect for him.
Oh wow, this looks amazing! My husband loves carne asada and slow cooker recipes are my favorite – so easy! 🙂
Anything slow cooker is calling my name. This one is going on my must make soon list!
