Keto Taco Soup Ingredients
This hamburger soup has all the flavors of a taco but it’s also full of vegetables in a savory broth. I wanted to make this low carb taco soup with no cream cheese because sometimes it separates and I think this way it freezes better. So the basic ingredients are ground beef, Mexican spices, carrots, zucchini, broccoli, peppers and cauliflower.
For more depth of flavor I used beef flavored Better than Bouillon and tomato paste. I highly recommend the bouillon but if you don’t have it you can use regular beef bouillon.
Taco Soup Recipe
This is very easy and you start by browning the ground beef in a large soup pan along with all the spices. As it browns, chop your vegetables and then add them to the pot. Mix the water with the Better than Bouillon and tomato paste then pour into the soup pot. Also pour in the beef stock and garlic. Mix well and let simmer for about 15 minutes or until the vegetables are fork tender.
Garnish with cheddar cheese in each bowl. You can also try garnishing with sour cream, green onions, avocado, etc.
Other Things To Try
You can try using chorizo or chicken in this dish. The carb count will change with the chorizo but not the chicken. You can also substitute Italian sausage and seasonings for an Italian flavored soup.
