Creamy Taco Soup (Low Carb/Keto)
Description
Creamy Taco Soup combines browned ground beef cooked with onion and garlic, then integrates diced tomatoes and diced green bell pepper, softened with cream cheese to provide a rich base. Taco seasoning brings a savory depth, and simmering with beef broth allows the flavors to meld while thickening slightly. The soup's texture is creamy and substantial rather than brothy, creating a filling meal option. Served in small bowls, it can be topped with avocado slices, sour cream, shredded cheese, cilantro, jalapeno, and a lime drizzle for personalized garnishing that complements the comforting flavors and gives each serving a fresh finish.
