KETO TACO SOUP

I enjoy soup year around, but when the weather cools off and temps begin to drop, there's just nothing better than a warm and hearty bowl of taco soup.

           This low carb taco soup recipe is seasoned with homemade Ranch Seasoning and a homemade taco seasoning recipe, that not only lends incredible flavor, but also insures you are using seasonings with no added preservatives.

             Rich and creamy Keto taco soup is so quick and easy and the whole family will love it. Low carb option: If you're following more of a low carb diet verses Keto, adding in black beans is so good, and it really doesn't add too many net carbs. For low carb dieters, there are only about 5 net carbs per serving of black beans in this soup.

INGREDIENTS

 3 cups chicken stock, or beef
 1 pound ground beef, I use 85%
 8 ounces cream cheese, softened and cut into pieces
 ½ cup yellow onion, diced
 15 ounces Rotel tomatoes, original, with green chilies
 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
 1 tablespoon homemade ranch seasoning, or 2 teaspoons store bought
 2 teaspoons olive oil
 1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped

INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 1
Add the ground beef to a dutch oven or pot and heat to medium. Brown the ground beef, then push to the side once browned.
STEP 2
Add in the olive oil and onion, then sauté for a few minutes, or until the onion is translucent. Pour in the taco seasoning and allow to toast for about a minute, while stirring.
STEP 3
Stir in the Rotel with the liquid and scrape up any brown bits on the bottom of the pan. Add in the cream cheese, ranch seasoning and chicken stock, then stir until well combined.
STEP 4
Allow the soup to simmer for 20 minutes or until thickened to your liking. Add in the chopped cilantro and serve with your choice of garnish over the top. Serve with cauliflower rice, zucchini noodles, Palmini noodles, spaghetti squash or other Keto friendly noodle.
