Ingredients

Meat and Vegetables

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 small onion, diced

Dairy

  • 6 ounces softened cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Pantry

  • Two cans (10 ounces each) diced tomatoes with green chilies
  • 2 1/2 cups beef stock
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Brown the Beef and Onions: Place a large pot over medium heat. Add the ground beef and diced onion, breaking the beef into smaller pieces as it cooks. Let it brown for about 8-10 minutes. Once done, drain any excess grease to keep the soup from becoming too oily.
  2. Incorporate the Cream Cheese: Add the softened cream cheese to the pot. Stir well until the cream cheese melts and blends smoothly with the beef and onion mixture. This creates a rich, creamy base that elevates the dish.
  3. Add Broth, Tomatoes, and Seasonings: Next, add the diced tomatoes with green chilies, beef broth, heavy cream, garlic powder, and taco seasoning. Stir everything together until well combined.
  4. Simmer the Soup: Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for about 30 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure the flavors meld beautifully.
  5. Final Seasoning: Before serving, taste the soup and adjust the seasoning by adding salt and pepper to your liking. This final step ensures every spoonful is perfectly balanced.
  6. Serve and Garnish: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with your favorite toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, jalapeños, guacamole, or fresh cilantro.

Notes

  • Drain excess grease after browning the beef to avoid a greasy soup.
  • Use softened cream cheese for easier incorporation and a smoother texture.
  • Feel free to customize toppings to your preference for extra flavor and texture.
  • Simmering for 30 minutes helps deepen the flavors and achieve the perfect consistency.
  • This soup is ideal for keto and low-carb diets due to its high fat and protein content with minimal carbs.
