🌮 Crock-Pot Creamy Low-Carb Taco Soup

🌮 Crock-Pot Creamy Low-Carb Taco Soup

One of those cozy, creamy soups that is packed with savory taco flavor! Tender seasoned ground meat, creamy cheese, tomatoes, and broth simmer together for an easy slow-cooker dinner. 🌶️🧀

🛒 Ingredients

• 2 lbs ground beef, pork, or sausage
• 2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened and cubed
• 2 (10-ounce) cans Rotel-style diced tomatoes with green chilies
• 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1–2 tablespoons fresh or dried cilantro, optional
• ½ cup shredded cheddar or Mexican-blend cheese, for garnish
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• Optional: sliced green onions, avocado, sour cream, or jalapeños for topping

👩‍🍳 Detailed Instructions

1. Brown the meat
   Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground meat and cook for 7–10 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula, until fully cooked.

Drain excess grease if necessary.

2. Start the soup
   Place the cubed cream cheese, Rotel, and taco seasoning into the crock pot. Stir briefly to combine.
3. Add the meat
   Transfer the cooked meat to the crock pot and stir everything together.
4. Add the broth
   Slowly pour in the chicken broth while stirring. The cream cheese may remain a little lumpy at first—that’s okay. It will melt as the soup cooks.
5. Slow cook
   Cover and cook:

• LOW: about 4 hours
• HIGH: about 2 hours

Stir once or twice during cooking if convenient.

6. Make it creamy
   About 15–20 minutes before serving, stir the soup thoroughly until the cream cheese is completely incorporated and the soup is creamy and smooth.
7. Finish
   Stir in the cilantro. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt, pepper, or additional taco seasoning if needed.
8. Serve
   Ladle into bowls and top with shredded cheese. Add green onions, avocado, sour cream, or jalapeños if desired. 🌮🥣

💡 Tips & Notes

• Ground beef gives the soup a classic taco flavor.
• Sausage makes it richer and more savory.
• For a milder soup, use mild diced tomatoes and chilies.
• For extra vegetables, add diced bell peppers, zucchini, or spinach.
• Leftovers can be refrigerated in a covered container for 3–4 days. Reheat gently and stir well.

Note: The listed 547 calories per serving can vary substantially depending on the meat, sausage, cream cheese, and serving size, so it’s best treated as an estimate rather than an exact number.
