Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 14.5 ounces Diced tomatoes (no sugar added)
• 4 cups Beef broth
• 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning (sugar-free)
• 1 medium Bell pepper, diced
• 1 medium Zucchini, diced
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese (optional, for topping)
• 0.25 cup Sour cream (optional, for topping)
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the olive oil, then sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Step 3

Add the ground beef to the pot, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the taco seasoning, diced bell pepper, and zucchini. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to bring out the flavors of the spices and slightly soften the vegetables.

Step 5

Pour in the beef broth and add the diced tomatoes. Stir to combine, then bring the soup to a gentle boil.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cream cheese until fully melted and incorporated.

Step 7

Simmer the soup on low heat for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Stir occasionally.

Step 8

Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 9

Serve hot in bowls. Optionally, top with shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of freshly chopped cilantro for added flavor and texture.
