Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 lb (450g) ground beef

  • 1 tbsp olive oil or butter

  • 1 small onion, chopped

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 (10 oz) can diced tomatoes with green chilies (like Rotel)

  • 2 cups beef broth (low sodium)

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened

  • 1 tbsp chili powder

  • 1 tsp cumin

  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

  • ½ tsp dried oregano

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (for topping)

  • Optional toppings: sour cream, avocado, sliced jalapeño, chopped cilantro

Instructions

  1. Heat oil or butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain extra fat, leaving about 1 tablespoon.

  2. Add onion and garlic. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the onion turns soft.

  3. Add chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir to coat the meat evenly.

  4. Pour in diced tomatoes (with liquid) and beef broth. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for about 10 minutes.

  5. Lower the heat. Add softened cream cheese in small chunks. Stir slowly until it melts and blends in.

  6. Pour in heavy cream. Stir until smooth and creamy.

  7. Let the soup simmer another 5–7 minutes until slightly thickened.

  8. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

  9. Serve hot with shredded cheese and your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese is soft before adding, or it may clump.

  • For a thicker soup, let it simmer longer uncovered.

  • To make it spicier, add a pinch of cayenne or a diced jalapeño.

  • It reheats well, store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days.

  • Freezer-friendly for up to 2 months.
