Ingredients
1 lb ground beef (85/15 lean)
2 packets taco seasoning
8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
15 oz black beans, rinsed and drained
15 oz corn, drained
28 oz diced fire-roasted tomatoes
3 cups low-sodium beef broth
Instructions
Heat a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat.
Add ground beef and cook until deeply browned, breaking it into small crumbles.
Drain the excess grease from the pot.
Stir the taco seasoning into the cooked beef until well coated.
Add the beef broth, diced tomatoes, black beans, and corn to the pot.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Reduce heat to low and whisk in the softened cream cheese until the soup is smooth and creamy.
Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature to prevent clumping. You can garnish with fresh cilantro, shredded cheddar cheese, or crushed tortilla chips if desired. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
