Creamy Keto Taco Soup with Ground Beef
This keto-friendly taco soup delivers rich flavors with ground beef, creamy cheese, and a blend of warming spices. Perfect for those following a low-carb lifestyle, this dish is best enjoyed fresh as it does not freeze well.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ½ cup chopped onion
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
- 2 14.5-ounce cans beef broth
- 2 10-ounce cans diced tomatoes and green chiles (such as RO*TEL)
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons salt or adjust to taste
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all the ingredients.
- In a large soup pot, combine the ground beef, minced garlic, and chopped onion. Set over medium-high heat, cooking while stirring frequently until the beef is browned and broken into small pieces, approximately 5 to 7 minutes.
- Remove and discard excess grease. Stir in the ground cumin and chili powder, allowing the spices to cook for an additional 2 minutes to release their full aroma.
- Gradually add softened cream cheese to the pot, mashing it into the beef mixture with a large spoon. Continue until the cream cheese is completely blended with no visible white spots, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Pour in the beef broth, diced tomatoes and green chiles, and heavy cream. Add salt according to taste. Stir well and cook until thoroughly heated, roughly 10 minutes more.
- Serve hot and enjoy this creamy, comforting bowl of keto taco soup.
