Creating your Easy Creamy Taco Soup is a straightforward process. Just follow these simple steps to ensure a successful outcome:
- Brown the Meat: In a large pot, over medium heat, brown the ground beef or turkey. Cook until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add Aromatics: Once the meat is cooked, add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
- Mix in Bulk Ingredients: Stir in the black beans, corn, diced tomatoes with green chilies, and taco seasoning until everything is well combined.
- Pour in Broth: Add the beef or chicken broth to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for 15 minutes.
- Incorporate Cream: Gradually pour in the heavy cream, stirring until everything is well combined and heated through.
- Add Cheese: Stir in the shredded cheese until melted and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
- Simmer Again: Allow the soup to simmer for an additional 5 minutes, letting all the flavors meld together.
- Serve Hot: Once ready, remove from heat and ladle the soup into bowls.
