Servings: 6 bowls
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 2-3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 lb ground beef *
- 1 red bell pepper diced
- 1 large tomato chopped
- 1/2 jalapeno chopped **
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp taco seasoning
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 1/2 cups beef broth
For Garnish (optional)
- Fresh cilantro chopped

Heat up a large pot or Dutch oven to medium-high heat. Add in the olive oil and onion. Cook until translucent for about 3-5 minutes.
Add in the garlic and ground beef. Brown the beef up for about 7-8 minutes, stirring throughout until it's cooked.
Now, add bell pepper, tomato, jalapeno, heavy cream, taco seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir and let it cook for 4-5 minutes until the tomatoes have softened and everything has been mixed through thoroughly.
Pour in the beef broth and mix it in well. Lower the heat and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes. The soup will thicken up.
Serve in a bowl. Top up with cilantro, sliced avocado, shredded mozzarella cheese, slices of jalapeno, drizzle with fresh lime juice, and top up with lime slices.
*You can also use ground chicken or turkey or any other meat of choice
**Optional. Don't add it if you like your soup mild.
