Ingredients

1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey for a lighter option)

1 onion, diced

1 packet taco seasoning (or homemade seasoning)

1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained

1 can (4 oz) diced green chilies

1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed

1 can (15 oz) corn, drained

1 can (10 oz) enchilada sauce

1 1/2 cups chicken broth

8 oz cream cheese, cubed

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional toppings: sour cream, shredded cheese, cilantro, avocado, tortilla chips

Instructions

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, brown the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Once browned, drain any excess fat.

  2. Add the diced onion to the pot and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the onion is softened.

  3. Stir in the taco seasoning and cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

  4. Add the diced tomatoes (with juices), diced green chilies, black beans, corn, enchilada sauce, and chicken broth to the pot. Stir to combine.

  5. Bring the soup to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to develop.

  6. Add the cubed cream cheese to the soup, stirring until fully melted and incorporated.

  7. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and cook until melted, creating a creamy, cheesy texture.

  8. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

  9. Ladle the soup into bowls and top with optional toppings like sour cream, shredded cheese, avocado, cilantro, and tortilla chips.

  10. Serve immediately and enjoy!
