Creamy Taco Soup

Step 1

Take the cream cheese out of the fridge to let it soften up.

Step 2

Add the ground beef to a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Brown the beef and drain the fat.

Step 3

Add all the ingredients except for the cream cheese and salt & pepper.

Step 4

Increase the heat to high and bring the soup to a boil. Turn down the heat so it's simmering gently for 8 minutes. While the soup cooks, prep your toppings.

Step 5

Cut the cream cheese into smaller pieces and add it to the soup. Let it melt in (you may have to stir it a fair bit until it's fully dissolved). Season the soup with salt & pepper and serve with toppings as desired.
