| This delicious soup is so simple to make~ it smells and tastes like beef tacos! 🌮 |
Ingredients:
2 pounds 93% lean ground beef
4 ounces reduced fat cream cheese
2 (10 ounce) cans Rotel*
1 tablespoon homemade taco seasoning**
4 cups low sodium chicken broth
1 cup lowfat Greek yogurt

Garnishes:

Method:
Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat.
While the meat is browning, add the cream cheese, Rotel and seasoning to the slow cooker pot.
Transfer the cooked meat to a collander of seive to drain away the grease. Add to the pot. Stir to mix. Pour in the broth and stir. Cover and cook on low for 4 hours or 2 hours on high.
Thirty minutes before the soup finishes cooking, stir in the yogurt and 1/2 cup of cilantro. Cover and continue cooking. Makes 10 cups. Six (1 2/3 cup) servings. Garnish each serving with 2 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons chopped lettuce, 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon shredded cheese and 2 teaspoons chopped cilantro.
*I used the fire roasted Rotel.
