1 pound grass fed ground beef
1 tablespoon avocado or olive oil
1 small onion, chopped (or half of a large onion)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped (optional)
1 (10 ounce) can mild Rotel tomatoes
1 teaspoon dried cilantro (or 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro)
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
black pepper (to taste)
4 cups beef broth
8 ounces cream cheese
Optional Garnishes:
grated cheddar or pepper jack cheese
chopped avocado
Method:
In a skillet, brown the ground beef. Place in a colander or sieve to drain off any excess grease. In a large pot, sauté the onion, garlic and bell pepper, over medium-low heat. Once the onion is translucent, add the tomatoes, cilantro, oregano, broth and cream cheese. Continue to cook and stir over medium heat, until the cream cheese is completely melted and blended in. If desired, garnish with 3 tablespoons grated cheese and 1/4 cup chopped avocado. Makes 8 one cup servings.
Note: This quick and simple, flavorful soup is satisfying and appealing to everyone, even if they are not following a low carb meal plan.
