Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2–3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 large tomato, chopped
  • 1/2 jalapeno, chopped (optional)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp taco seasoning
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 1/2 cups beef broth

For Garnish (optional)

  • Fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Avocado, sliced
  • Mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • Jalapeno, sliced
  • Lime, juiced and sliced

Instructions

  1. Heat the pot: Heat up a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and chopped onion, cooking until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Cook the beef: Add the minced garlic and ground beef to the pot. Brown the beef for about 7-8 minutes while stirring frequently until it’s fully cooked and no longer pink.
  3. Add vegetables and seasonings: Stir in the diced bell pepper, chopped tomato, jalapeno (if using), heavy cream, taco seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Cook the mixture for 4-5 minutes until the tomatoes soften and all ingredients are well incorporated.
  4. Simmer the soup: Pour in the beef broth and mix well. Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer gently for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the soup to thicken.
  5. Serve and garnish: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro, sliced avocado, shredded mozzarella cheese, jalapeno slices, and a drizzle of fresh lime juice with lime slices on the side.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground beef with ground chicken, turkey, or any preferred meat.
  • The jalapeno is optional; omit it if you prefer a milder soup.
