Creamy Taco Soup

Print Recipe

A hearty and comforting creamy taco soup that’s perfect for chilly evenings, made with ground beef, veggies, and a blend of spices.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef (85/15)
  • 1-2 packages taco seasoning
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 3 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 1 jalapeño, minced (remove membranes and seeds for less heat)
  • 1 Anaheim pepper, minced
  • 15 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 15 oz can diced tomatoes with green chiles
  • 15 oz can corn, drained
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • Zest of 1 lime
  • Juice of 1/2 lime (more as desired)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
  • 4-8 oz cream cheese, softened (use 8 oz for extra creaminess)

Instructions

  1. Bring a large Dutch oven to medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks until fully browned. Drain any excess grease.
  2. Stir in the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion softens, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the jalapeño, Anaheim pepper, one package of taco seasoning, black beans, diced tomatoes, corn, chicken broth, lime zest, lime juice, salt, pepper, and oregano. Stir everything together well.
  4. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more taco seasoning or lime juice to suit your preferences.
  5. Toss in the cream cheese and stir over medium heat until melted and fully combined. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
  6. Serve hot and garnish with fresh cilantro, shredded cheese, sour cream, and avocado.

Notes

For added creaminess, use the full 8 oz of cream cheese. Customize toppings based on preference.
