A rich and hearty Keto Taco Soup made with lean ground beef, creamy cheese, and flavorful spices. This low-carb recipe is perfect for a comforting meal that fits a ketogenic lifestyle, combining savory taco flavors with a creamy, satisfying broth.

Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Vegetables

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 small onion, diced

Spices and Dairy

  • 2 tablespoons keto taco seasoning
  • 8 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Other Ingredients

  • 2 (10.5 ounce) cans Ro*Tel tomatoes and chiles
  • 2 cups beef broth

Instructions

  1. Cook the beef and onions: Add the lean ground beef and diced onion to a saucepan or Dutch oven. Cook over medium heat, crumbling the beef as it browns until fully cooked. Drain off excess grease to keep the soup lean.
  2. Add seasoning and cream cheese: Stir in 2 tablespoons of keto taco seasoning and 8 ounces of cream cheese. Reduce heat to low and mix well until the beef is evenly coated with the seasoning and the cream cheese has completely melted into the meat mixture, creating a creamy texture.
  3. Add remaining ingredients: Pour in 2 cans (10.5 ounces each) of Ro*Tel tomatoes and chiles along with 2 cups of beef broth. Stir to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
  4. Simmer the soup: Let the soup cook on low heat for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to blend the flavors and thicken the soup slightly.
  5. Finish with heavy cream and serve: Gently stir in 1 cup of heavy cream for an extra creamy finish. Serve the soup hot, optionally topped with shredded cheddar cheese, diced avocado, and lime wedges for added flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add extra diced jalapeños or use a hot variety of Ro*Tel tomatoes.
  • To keep it fully keto, avoid adding high-carb toppings like tortilla chips.
  • You can substitute the ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
  • If cream cheese is unavailable, mascarpone or a high-fat cream cheese alternative works well.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days; reheat gently to prevent curdling.
  • This soup freezes well; thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
