A cozy and filling creamy taco soup packed with lean protein, spices, and cheese, perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb (450g) lean ground turkey or chicken
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 (10 oz) can green chilies (optional)
  • 1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 8 oz cream cheese, cubed
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground turkey or chicken and cook until browned.
  2. Add the taco seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir to coat the meat well.
  3. Pour in the diced tomatoes, green chilies (if using), black beans, and chicken broth. Stir to combine everything.
  4. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then add the cubed cream cheese. Stir until the cream cheese melts and the soup becomes creamy.
  5. Add the shredded cheddar cheese and stir until it melts and is smooth.
  6. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with sour cream, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime if desired.

Notes

For added flavor, roast the spices in the olive oil before adding the meat. This soup pairs well with corn tortillas or tortilla chips.
