Keto Taco Soup 🌮
A hearty and healthy low-carb taco soup, perfect for a weeknight dinner. Packed with flavor from ground beef, cauliflower, and a creamy cheesy broth, it's a satisfying meal for the whole family!
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon avocado or olive oil
- 1.5 pounds lean ground beef
- 3 tablespoons quality taco seasoning (check for low-sodium/filler-free)
- 12 ounces frozen cauliflower florets (or fresh, chopped)
- 0.67 pound fresh tomatoes seeded and chopped
- 1 medium jalapeño finely chopped (seeds removed for less heat)
- 4 cloves fresh garlic minced
- 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup freshly shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Start by heating 1 tablespoon of avocado or olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add 1 ½ pounds of lean ground beef and cook until it's no longer pink, breaking it up as you go (about 10 minutes). Stir in 3 tablespoons of quality taco seasoning. Remove the cooked beef to a separate bowl, leaving any rendered fat in the pot.
- Into the same pot, add 12 ounces of frozen cauliflower florets and sauté for a few minutes to begin softening. Next, stir in 2/3 pound of chopped tomatoes, 1 chopped jalapeño (remove seeds for less spice), and 4 minced garlic cloves. Sauté for another couple of minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in 3 cups of low-sodium chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and let it simmer until the cauliflower is very tender, which takes about 8 minutes.
- Carefully transfer the soup mixture to a blender (fill halfway, cover lid with a towel, and blend in batches) or use an immersion blender directly in the pot. Blend until the soup is wonderfully smooth and creamy.
- Return the smooth soup back to the pot (if using a regular blender). Stir in 1 cup of freshly shredded cheddar cheese until it's completely melted and integrated into the creamy soup.
- Finally, stir the cooked ground beef back into the soup. Serve your healthy Keto Taco Soup warm, topped with your favorite fresh taco garnishes like sliced avocado, fresh cilantro, or a little extra shredded cheese.
