The lineup includes Old El Paso Birria Style Beef Broth, Chicken Tinga Style Broth, Chipotle Steak Burrito Style Soup and Cheesy Beef Taco Style Soup.

Beef and Chicken Broth Add Flavor to Almost Any Meal

By introducing broths to its portfolio, Old El Paso is giving home cooks more ways to shake up what’s simmering on the stove. The 32 oz. restaurant-inspired broths add a punch of spice and a little fun to any home cooked meal — from grains and pasta to ramen, soups, sauces and stews. They’re gluten free and made with no artificial flavors.

The Old El Paso Birria Style Beef Broth is rich and zesty, seasoned with a smoky blend of chilis, garlic and lime, while Old El Paso Chicken Tinga Style Broth is savory and smoky with Tinga-style seasoning.

“There’s nothing better than a warm, flavorful meal as we head into fall, and we’re seeing consumers look for more ways to bring the Tex-Mex flavors they love to meals beyond taco night,” said Ben Bienert, Business Unit Director for Old El Paso at General Mills. “That inspired us to think about how Old El Paso could show up in even more cooking occasions. Our new versatile broths make it easy to bring bold Tex-Mex flavor to busy weeknight dinners, a lunch staple or as the starting point for something completely new.”

Flavor-Packed Canned Soups Take Taco Tuesday Beyond the Shell

Old El Paso is also expanding its canned soup lineup with two hearty varieties inspired by familiar taco and burrito recipes. Ready in minutes on the stovetop or in the microwave, the soups offer 12 to 16 grams of protein per can and are gluten free with no artificial flavors.

The Old El Paso Chipotle Steak Burrito Style Soup is a mild, chunky combination of beef, rice, tomatoes and corn, while Old El Paso™ Cheesy Beef Taco Style Soup combines beef patty crumbles, tomatoes, corn, jalapeño peppers and black beans with cheddar and cream cheese.
