Time 15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 lbs ground beef
1 onion, diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons chili powder
8 ounces cream cheese
2 (10 ounce) cans rotel
2 (10 ounce) cans beef broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
one packet Splenda sugar substitute (optional)
salt and pepper, to taste
diced avocado (optional for garnish)

Steps:

  • In a large pot or wok, brown ground beef.
  • Drain and return meat to pot.
  • Add onions, garlic and spices to drained beef and sauté until onions are translucent.
  • Add cream cheese, stirring until meat is coated.
  • Add Rotel, broth, cream, Splenda packet and simmer gently for 5-10 minutes or until flavors combine to your liking. (I like to let mine simmer a bit longer, which really allows the flavors to meld.).
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Garnish with diced avocado.

Tips:

  • Use lean ground beef: This will help reduce the fat and calories in your soup.
  • Add plenty of vegetables: Vegetables are low in calories and high in nutrients, so they're a great way to bulk up your soup and make it more filling.
  • Use a low-sodium broth: This will help reduce the sodium content of your soup.
  • Add some spice: A little bit of spice can help to add flavor and depth to your soup.
  • Serve with whole-wheat tortillas or cornbread: This will help to make your soup a more complete meal.

Conclusion:

Low-carb taco soup is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that's perfect for a busy weeknight. It's also a great way to use up leftover taco meat. This soup is also very versatile, so you can easily customize it to your liking. For example, you can add different vegetables, spices, or toppings.
