SIMPLE TACO SOUP

Steps:

EASY TACO SOUP

Steps:

• Heat a heavy-bottomed soup pot over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease.
• Add onion and garlic. Cook over medium to medium-high heat, stirring often, until onions begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add taco seasoning; cook and stir until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in black beans, corn, and diced tomatoes. Stir in tomato juice and scrape any browned bits of food off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon.
• Bring to a simmer; add cilantro and squeeze juice from lime halves into the pot. Simmer until flavors have melded, 15 to 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

TACO SOUP

Steps:

• Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the taco seasoning over the meat and gently mix. Set aside while prepping other ingredients.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a 4-5 quart Dutch oven or soup pot over medium heat until the oil shimmers on the surface.
• Add the meat, using a spatula to distribute it evenly across the surface, for fastest cooking. Stir frequently, breaking up the big chunks as you go.
• When the meat has mostly browned (about 5 minutes), check the pot for excess grease/fat. Drain or spoon out and discard if there is more than about a tablespoon.
• Add the onions to the pot and continue stirring.
• When the meat is fully browned, add the tomato paste and the remaining 1 tablespoon of taco seasoning, mixing thoroughly.
• Add the Rotel, the corn, and the broth, and increase heat to medium-high.
• Bring the broth to a gentle boil, then lower heat to medium or medium-low to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook for 10 minutes and reduce heat to low.
• Combine the cream and sour cream in a small mixing bowl. Remove a 1/4 cup of hot broth from the soup and whisk into the cream until combined. Then pour the mixture into the soup.
• Taste the soup and add more salt as needed. (Add small amounts, stir, and taste again.)
• Stir the green onions and cilantro into the soup, and serve with your favorite toppings.
