Creamy Taco Soup – Low-Calorie, Gluten-Free, Low-Carb

This bowl of this creamy taco soup is sure to satisfy and is low in calories. It’s easy to make and comes together in a short amount of time.

Who else loves a good creamy taco soup? One of the biggest reasons why I love it is because I can typically have a decent portion size without the number of calories getting out of hand and it’s filling. When making this recipe I opted to use 93/7 ground beef to make it lower in calories. However, you can also use ground beef that is 95/5 to get it a little lower in calories still.

Typically, I use the less fatty meat because it eliminates all the grease that comes with the full fat ground beef when cooking. A trick people do is to buy the ground beef higher in fat and then rinse it off in a colander after cooking. You can try that as well since ground beef that is higher in fat tends to be more cost effective. Also, I added broccoli to this soup for the added fiber and the flavor the broccoli added. If you don’t like broccoli, especially in a taco soup, feel free to omit it. It will still taste delicious without it.

A tip: If you want to make this recipe into a dip for tortilla chips, or to put over tortilla chips in nacho form, you can eliminate the water and it will give the recipe a thicker consistency. However, if you plan to eat in a bowl with a spoon like soup, then proceed with the water. 🙂

Also, you can make this creamy taco soup using your slow cooker. Just throw all of these ingredients into a slow cooker and let your soup cook on low for several hours to heat everything through. Be sure to cook the ground beef beforehand though as it won’t cook properly if you put it in raw.
