This was excellent as written with ground beef - but - if anyone has a chance please try the chicken version - this is outstanding!!!

This recipe is wonderful! One of my favorites!

CHERI'S CREAMY SOUTHWESTERN TACO SOUP
1 pound ground beef
2 3/4 ounces onion, chopped, 1/2 cup
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 10-ounce cans Ro-tel tomatoes, undrained (tomatoes with green chilies)
2 cans beef broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons salt, or to taste

In a large soup pot, brown the ground beef with the onion and garlic; drain. Add the spices and cook a couple minutes. Drop the cream cheese in bits into the meat. With the back of a big spoon, smash it into the meat until no bits of white remain. Stir in remaining ingredients and heat through.

Makes 8 cups or 6-8 servings
Freezing not recommended

I've made it with chicken as well. The chicken is good, too, but I prefer the beef version

My daughter made this soup over the weekend. We highly recommend it!! Yummy! Thanks for a great recipe Cheri.

Recluse · 01-16-2008, 11:34 AM

I just substituted cooked shredded chicken breast and used chicken broth instead of beef broth - WOW...

katlj · 12-16-2010, 03:52 PM

I LOVED this! I garnished with a small dollop of sour cream and a bit of shredded Cheddar. Seriously delicious!

theredhead · 12-16-2010, 05:04 PM

This is a favorite of mine, too. For some reason, I think the beef version tastes better with chicken broth instead of beef.

Jennifer Eloff · 12-16-2010, 05:04 PM

Sounds really super! I wrote the recipe down for later.

EveH · 12-16-2010, 06:14 PM

I used half chicken and half beef broth because that is what I had. It turned out great. This is just an outstanding soup. I put it on my flylady site and those who tried it, loved it!

This is what I did and I'm telling you this is by far the BEST soup I have had in a long time! So creamy, so good!! I sliced a LC Tortilla into thin strips and fried the strips to use on top of the soup!

DBF LOVED this and kept all of it for himself, the piggy!!

beth719 · 12-21-2010, 03:02 AM

Yummy!

bekki1 · 12-27-2010, 04:20 PM

Having this soup as I type. So very yummy! Looks like I have lunch for the next few days as the boys hate tomatoes. (I am so thankful for that!) Thanks for the recipe!

HSingARMYmom · 12-27-2010, 04:34 PM

Its what we had for dinner tonight - its also excellent with ground turkey sausage (our personal favorite).

EveH · 12-27-2010, 04:49 PM

Fancy it up with little baby meatballs or shrimp. Sour cream on top with chopped chives or bacon bits sprinkled on top. Our favoirte soup, hands down.

arkie1 · 12-29-2010, 08:10 PM

Just made this tonight. Told my son and his wife to come over tomorrow and have some...now I don't want to share!

(But of course I will). I have enough ingredients to make another batch. They also love the pumpkin/sausage soup, so I may make another batch of that also. Love all these recipes!

EveH · 12-29-2010, 08:23 PM

I'm making this again tomorrow. We absolutely love it. This time I am thinking about taking some of those low carb tortillas, cutting them into strips and frying them up to serve with it. They are only 5 carbs each and won't add that much carb to dinner. I have the tomato and basil flavor.

mac24312 · 01-12-2011, 08:05 AM

Bumping..

Fixing this for this very cold windy winter snowy day here! :]

Charski · 01-12-2011, 08:10 AM

I guess I'm the only one who didn't care for this!

But then I don't like the pumpkin sausage soup either....

jbatchelor · 01-12-2011, 08:20 AM

Saving this for fixing later this week--its sounds good for the snowy days here--thanks for posting it

LowcarbFan · 01-12-2011, 05:31 PM

I don't know of anyone that doesn't like this recipe. Maybe your tastebuds are off Charski.

I have made it with chicken also and it is good especially if people are watching their red meat intake.

1annewil · 01-12-2011, 07:30 PM

I like this soup but didn't care for the pumpkin/sausage one at all.

Beeb · 09-27-2011, 08:55 PM

Bumping this up because this soup is just amazing! I have made it with chicken, beef or pork and no matter what meat I have used it's just incredible!

Truffles · 09-27-2011, 11:27 PM

TThanks sounds delicious!

Star73 · 09-28-2011, 05:10 AM

I HAVE to make this soon! It sounds yummy!

Tilly · 09-28-2011, 06:21 PM

Yum, thanks!

CarolynF · 09-28-2011, 09:17 PM

I love this soup..

The local meat market sells ground white meat chicken..I might
try this with the ground chix and use chicken broth..

Heheher · 09-29-2011, 02:19 PM

I have this simmering on the stove now. Oh my this is spicy and I only used 1 can rotel.

Katrin · 09-29-2011, 07:51 PM

We eat this ALL the time! I love to serve it topped with chopped cilantro, sliced avacodo, shredded white cheese and a squeeze of lime.
