Everyone enjoyed this soup including the kids! Feel free to add desired toppings like shredded cheese and diced avocado. If you like having leftover soup the next day like I did, this one tastes great re-heated! Enjoy!
Can I make this stovetop in a Dutch oven?
I make mine on the stovetop & it tastes fine!
Oh good thanks for sharing Melinda!

Great recipe, added small cube of Velveeta chez!
Oh yum! That sounds great 👍
This soup is PHENOMENAL! It’s so simple and easy and sooooo addicting. My hubby couldn’t get enough either. I didn’t add cilantro bc I’m not a fan and we didnt top it with anything…the soup was great by itself! I will make this many, many more time! Thank you for sharing.
We’re so glad to hear that Brandy!
This was delicious. I made it the second time and used shredded chicken instead of beef.
That is such a great idea!! 👍 yum!
I love this recipe! One thing I would add to the recipe is adding salt and pepper to taste when browning the ground beef. Other than that LOVE it!!
Awesome, but next time I will add a can of pinto beans, as well.
I have made a couple of recipes like this and they taste absolutely wonderful BUT in this one the cream cheese never melted after being cooked in the Crock Pot for six hours on Low and I discarded most of it. In the other recipe made on the stove, I finally got the cream cheese down to small bits. Not real attractive, but it certainly tasted good. What is the secret of getting the cream cheese melted? Thanks.
The link to the homemade taco seasoning is gone!!! Help please! We love that!!!
Sorry about that! Thanks so much for the heads up! That link has been updated if you wanted to check again!
I also had a problem with the cheese melting. I now put it in after I brown the ground beef & stir till it melts. Then I add my other ingredients. Are usually cook mine on the stove top and it comes out fine.
What can you eat with this on the side?
I think a nice green salad would be great with this soup!
Has anyone tried adding riced cauliflower? Trying to get hubby to eat more cauliflower.
I think that’d be a great addition – thanks for the idea

I don’t like it!!
I’ve made it 3 times in five weeks, followed the super easy directions, and it’s absolutely amazing each time. What I don’t like about it is, because the flavors are just the perfect combination and I can make it original, or hot by whichever Rotel tomatoes I use, I over eat each time, dag nabbit!
Lol ah darn! So you like it too much??!! 😀 That happens to me too!
This soup was amazing! I did add a can of black soy beans, drained and rinsed. It was perfect. Thanks! Oh and I followed your instant pot instructions. Great
That’s so great to hear! Thanks for sharing!
It doesn’t say, but assuming you need to drain the ground beef before adding to the crock pot?
