Description
A cozy, low carb taco soup packed with flavors that doesn’t sacrifice taste.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef (or turkey or chicken)
- 1 tbsp oil (of your choice)
- 1 small onion (diced)
- 2–3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 small green bell pepper (diced, optional)
- 1 (10 oz) can Rotel tomatoes (or 1 large tomato, chopped)
- 1 (8 oz) pkg cream cheese (or 1 cup heavy cream)
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning (homemade or 1 packet)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 (14.5 oz) can beef broth (1.5 cups)
Instructions
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, diced onion, and minced garlic. Brown everything together for about 7-8 minutes until the beef is thoroughly browned.
- Next, toss in the bell pepper, Rotel tomatoes, cream cheese, and taco seasoning. Stir this delightful mixture for 4-5 minutes until the tomatoes soften and the cream cheese blends in beautifully.
- Pour in the beef broth and reduce the heat to low-medium. Let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, adjusting the thickness to your liking.
- Finally, serve the soup in small bowls, garnishing with freshly sliced avocado, sour cream, shredded cheese, minced cilantro, jalapeño, and a squeeze of lime for that extra zing!
Notes
For best results, serve with tortilla chips or a fresh green salad. Adjust seasoning according to spice preference.
