Creamy Taco Soup Food

CREAMY TACO SOUP

Steps:

• Take the cream cheese out of the fridge an hour or more prior to starting the recipe to let it soften up, or microwave it for 20-30 seconds.
• Add the ground beef to a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Brown the beef, and if there's excess fat, spoon most of it out.
• Add all the ingredients to the pot except for the cream cheese and salt & pepper.
• Increase the heat to high and bring the soup to a boil. Turn down the heat so it's simmering gently for 8 minutes. While the soup cooks, prep your toppings.
• Cut the cream cheese into smaller pieces and add it to the soup. Let it melt in (you may have to stir it a fair bit until it's fully dissolved). Season the soup with salt & pepper and serve with toppings as desired.

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven or soup kettle, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add the beans, tomatoes, chili, cheese and seasonings.

CREAMY TACO SOUP

Steps:

• Heat a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef, onion, and garlic in the hot pot until beef is browned and crumbly and onion is translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease if necessary.
• Stir in cumin and chili powder and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Drop cream cheese pieces into the pot; mix well and cook until melted and no white chunks remain. Stir in beef broth, undrained diced tomatoes, green chiles, cream, and salt. Reduce heat to medium and cook until heated through, about 30 minutes, or longer if desired; do not allow to boil or curdling/separation may occur.

WHITE TACO SOUP

Steps:

• In a large soup pot, saute onion in butter until translucent.
• Toward the end of the onion's cooking time, add garlic (if you add the garlic at the beginning, you're more likely to burn it--you really just want to release the flavor). Add hot water, bouillon, and cumin. Bring to a boil and cook 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low to stop boil. Stir in milk, cheese, creamed corn, and green chilies. Stir and heat through only until cheese is melted.

CREAMY CHICKEN TACO SOUP

Steps:

• Remove skin and visible fat from chicken thighs. Place in crock pot with broth, beer, celery and onion.
• Cook on high 2 hours or till chicken is done. Remove chicken from crock-pot and allow to cool. Remove bones from chicken thighs and chop meat to desired size. Add diced chicken back to broth in crock-pot. This step can be done ahead of time and refrigerated overnight. Then in the morning, skim off fat collected on top and allow crock to sit for 30 mins at room temp before turning on and adding other ingredients.
• Add beans, tomatoes, and taco seasoning package. Return crock-pot to low for up to 8 hours or high for as little as two hours.
• 30 mins before serving add cream cheese to crock-pot and put on high. Stir well before serving, breaking up large pieces with back of spoon. If you are adding rice, do so now and allow to heat thru for a few minutes.
• Top with crushed chips and cheese.

SLOW COOKER CREAMY CHICKEN TACO SOUP

Steps:

• Spray a slow cooker with cooking spray. Add onions, bell pepper, and 1 teaspoon salt. Stir in chicken broth, diced tomatoes, condensed soup, and chiles.
• Combine oil, taco seasoning, 1 teaspoon salt, cumin, and black pepper in a bowl. Add chicken and toss to coat on all sides. Transfer to the slow cooker.
• Cook on Low until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 2 to 3 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the slow cooker and shred.
• Add Neufchatel cheese to the slow cooker and stir until melted. Return chicken to the slow cooker and cook until warmed through, 20 to 30 minutes more.
