Description
Creamy Chipotle Taco Soup is a rich, smoky one-pot meal made with seasoned ground beef, chipotle tomatoes, cream cheese, and chicken broth. Topped with cheddar and cilantro, it’s the perfect blend of taco flavor and cozy soup comfort.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground hamburger meat
- 1 can diced chipotle tomatoes (14.5 oz)
- 1 packet low sodium taco seasoning
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 block (8 oz) cream cheese
- 1 tsp dried cilantro (or to taste)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- Shredded cheddar cheese (for topping)
Instructions
- Brown ground beef in a large pot over medium heat, seasoning with salt and pepper. Drain excess grease.
- Add diced chipotle tomatoes with juices and taco seasoning. Stir to coat meat evenly.
- Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
- Add cream cheese in chunks and stir until melted and fully incorporated.
- Season with dried cilantro, additional salt, and pepper to taste.
- Simmer for 10–15 minutes to blend flavors and thicken slightly.
- Serve hot, topped with shredded cheddar and additional cilantro if desired.
Notes
- Add black beans or corn for texture.
- Use chipotle in adobo or hot sauce for extra heat.
- Swap ground beef for turkey or use reduced-fat cream cheese for a lighter version.
- Serve with tortilla chips, rice, or warm tortillas.
- Soup thickens as it sits—add broth to loosen when reheating.
