Creamy Taco Soup combines bold taco flavors with a rich, creamy texture, featuring ground beef, beans, and corn. It’s an easy-to-make, hearty dish that’s perfect for busy weeknights or cozy weekends, and can be customized with your favorite toppings.

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef
1 medium onion, diced
1 packet taco seasoning
1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes
1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can (15 oz) corn kernels, drained
1 can (10 oz) diced green chilies
1 can (10 oz) cream of mushroom soup
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, cubed
4 cups chicken broth
Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, cilantro, tortilla chips

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, brown the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
  2. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Stir in the taco seasoning and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the spices to bloom.
  4. Add the diced tomatoes, black beans, corn, green chilies, and cream of mushroom soup to the pot. Stir to combine.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for 5-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  6. Add the cubed cream cheese and stir until melted and smooth.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Ladle the soup into bowls and top with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, cilantro, and tortilla chips.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian version, replace the ground beef with crumbled tofu or tempeh, and use vegetable broth.
  • For extra heat, add more diced green chilies or jalapeños.
  • For a lighter option, replace the cream cheese with heavy cream or use a low-fat cream cheese alternative.
  • To make it dairy-free, substitute the cream cheese with a dairy-free alternative and use a coconut-based cream of mushroom soup.
  • Add bell peppers, zucchini, or spinach for more vegetables in the soup.
