Ingredients :
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 can (10 oz) Rotel Tomatoes and Green Chilies, undrained
- 4 oz cream cheese, cut into cubes
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- Optional toppings: shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream
Instructions :
- Brown the beef: In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the ground beef and onion over medium heat. Drain off any excess grease.
- Combine ingredients: Return the beef and onion to the pot. Stir in the Rotel tomatoes, cream cheese, chicken broth, garlic powder, and taco seasoning.
- Simmer: Bring the soup to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the cream cheese is melted and the flavors are combined. This should take about 15-20 minutes.
- Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and top with shredded cheddar cheese and sour cream, if desired.
Tips:
- For a spicier soup, add a diced jalapeño or serrano pepper to the pot with the onion.
- You can add other vegetables to the soup, such as corn, black beans, or diced bell peppers.
- To make this soup ahead of time, you can simmer it for a longer period and then refrigerate it. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave before serving.
Enjoy your delicious and easy Taco Soup!
