Queso Soup (Taco Soup)

This is a great comfort food soup that stores well in fridge or freezer.  A perfect (and warm) alternative to a taco salad while trying to avoid tortillas and carbs. Garnish with cheese, sour cream, fresh tomatoes, olives, or anything else you would put on a taco.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef
• ½ onion, chopped
• 6 oz cream cheese
• 2 10 oz cans diced tomatoes with onions and garlic
• 1 small can of green chiles (diced)
• ½ cup heavy whipping cream
• 2½ cups beef broth (add more to thin soup)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 packet of taco seasoning
• salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

• Brown ground beef and onions together then drain.
• In a large saucepan add ground beef and cream cheese.
• With a spoon mash the cream cheese into the ground beef so that it will combine smoothly as it melts.
• Add the rest of the ingredients and simmer on low for 30 minutes.
• Add salt and pepper to taste and serve.
• You can also add shredded cheese and sour cream to each bowl of soup.
