Ingredients

  • 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
  • Avocado sliced
  • Mozzarella shredded
  • Jalapeno sliced
  • Lime juiced and sliced

Instructions

  • 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.
