Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Soup:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground beef or ground turkey
  • 1 small onion (diced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 (1 oz) packet taco seasoning
  • 1 (10 oz) can Rotel (diced tomatoes with green chiles)
  • 1 (15 oz) can black beans (drained and rinsed)
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese (cubed)
  • 2 cups beef or chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Optional Toppings:

  • Shredded cheese
  • Tortilla strips
  • Chopped cilantro
  • Sliced jalapeños

Instructions

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, about 6–8 minutes. Drain excess fat.
  2. Add diced onion and garlic and cook for 2–3 minutes until softened.
  3. Stir in taco seasoning, then add Rotel, black beans, corn, cream cheese, and broth. Stir until the cream cheese melts and the mixture is smooth.
  4. Simmer for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in sour cream. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  6. Serve hot with desired toppings.

Notes

  • You can make this soup spicier by adding a pinch of cayenne or using hot Rotel.
  • It also works great in a slow cooker—just brown the meat first, then cook on low for 4–5 hours.
