Slow Cooker/ Instant Pot Beef Fajita Soup (Low Carb)

A Very Delicious, Flavorful & Satisfying Soup!
Ingredients:
1 - 2 tablespoons of bacon grease
2 pounds chuck roast
4 cups beef broth
1 red or orange bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 yellow or orange bell pepper, seeded and chopped
4 teaspoons fresh minced garlic
1/2 cup chopped red onion
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
2 tablespoons Keto Friendly taco seasoning**
1 teaspoon dried cilantro or 2 tablespoons fresh chopped cilantro
Garnishes (optional):
sour cream
chopped avocado
sliced pickled jalapenos
Method:
Add the bacon grease to a large frying pan or cooking pot. Turn the burner to a medium  heat. Brown the roast on all sides. Place the browned roast into a slow cooker or Instant Pot. Add one cup of the broth to the slow cooker. Cook on high heat for 3 hours. Remove the roast to a large bowl. Use two forks to shred the beef. Remove any fat and return the shredded beef to the slow cooker. Add the bell peppers, garlic, onion, tomatoes (with liquid), remaining broth, taco seasoning and cilantro to the pot.
If using a slow cooker, cook on high for 1 to 2 hours longer. If using an Instant Pot, cook for 30 minutes on soup setting. Makes 6 servings. If desired, garnish each serving with 2 tablespoon of sour cream and 3 tablespoons of chopped avocado and/or 2 or 3 slices of pickled jalapeno.

Note: I've never been a big fan of soup in general, but I really enjoyed this one! My non-Keto husband loved it, too and asked for seconds. ðŸ˜ƒ
