[adinserter block=”6″]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Optional toppings: shredded cheddar cheese, crushed tortilla chips, sliced avocado, fresh cilantro, sour cream, pickled jalape\u00f1os, lime wedges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instructions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Brown the meat\u00a0\u2013 In a large pot or Dutch oven over medium\u2011high heat, cook the ground beef until no longer pink, breaking it up with a spoon, about 5\u20137 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Saut\u00e9 aromatics\u00a0\u2013 Add the diced onion and cook for 2\u20133 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Add seasonings and canned goods\u00a0\u2013 Stir in the taco seasoning and cook for 30 seconds. Then add the diced tomatoes (with juices), corn, black beans, pinto beans (if using), and chicken broth. Stir to combine.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Simmer\u00a0\u2013 Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Make it creamy\u00a0\u2013 Add the cream cheese cubes to the hot soup. Stir continuously until the cream cheese has completely melted into the broth. If using heavy cream or sour cream, stir it in now. Season with salt and pepper to taste.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Adjust consistency\u00a0\u2013 If the soup is too thick, add a little more broth or water. If too thin, let it simmer uncovered for a few more minutes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Serve\u00a0\u2013 Ladle into bowls and add your favorite toppings. Crushed tortilla chips add a wonderful crunch.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Tips<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Light version\u00a0\u2013 Use ground turkey or chicken, reduced\u2011fat cream cheese, and skip the heavy cream.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Slow cooker method\u00a0\u2013 Brown the meat and onions first, then transfer everything except the cream cheese to a slow cooker. Cook on low for 4\u20136 hours. Stir in cream cheese 15 minutes before serving.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Make ahead\u00a0\u2013 This soup tastes even better the next day. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Vegetarian\u00a0\u2013 Omit the meat and use vegetable broth. Add an extra can of beans or diced zucchini for heartiness.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Enjoy your creamy, taco\u2011flavored comfort in a bowl!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
