Low Carb Beef Nacho Soup

Here is another recipe I pinned a while back, and decided to give it a try!  It looked simple, and I had the ingredients on hand, so I went for it.  I am SOOO glad I did!!  This is delicious!  Even my tween daughter who rarely likes my low carb/high fat foods loved it!  I'll definitely make it again...but I might try to add something to it. Not sure what...because its very yummy...but just feels like it needs something.  (Yeah, I know...my taste buds are screaming TORTILLA CHIPS!! LOL!)  Here is a link to the recipe:  Low Carb Beef Nacho Soup.

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 cans beef broth (or five cups water and 4 beef bullion cubes)
  • 8oz. Cream cheese, softened
  • 8oz. cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 medium onion, finely diced
  • 1 small can mild green chiles
  • 1 TBSP chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin powder
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt to taste
Brown ground beef, drain, and add to soup pot.  Add beef broth to beef in soup pot, and turn on heat to medium.  Sauté onion in skillet until translucent (I used the beef fat to sauté it), add to soup mixture.  Add softened cream cheese to soup mixture and whisk until incorporated (until any traces of white are gone).  Add remainder of ingredients and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
