    New to low carb eating… this was delicious (even without beans and corn which I would typically add to a taco soup). Cream cheese makes it very satisfying.

  2. Editing note: chopped onions are added in step 1, and also in step 4 – assuming they should be deleted from step 4.

    I thought this soup would be disappointing because I LOVE tacos and I didn’t think it would be the same, but this soup BLEW my mind. A dab of sour cream and a couple slices of avocado and this soup is HEAVEN in a bowl! I could eat it every day, no joke!!
