Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef (browned and drained)
- 2 green onions (chopped)
- 1 can (10 oz) mild Rotel tomatoes with chilies
- 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1 and 1/2 cups chicken broth (low-sodium recommended)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Tony’s seasoning (to taste, for extra flavor)
Instructions:
- Brown the Ground Beef
In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Once browned, drain off any excess grease. - Cook the Onions
Add the chopped green onions to the pot with the beef and cook for about 2 minutes until the onions are softened. - Add Cream Cheese
Lower the heat and add the softened cream cheese to the beef and onion mixture. Stir it constantly until the cream cheese is fully melted and incorporated into the meat mixture. - Add Rotel and Chicken Broth
Pour in the can of mild Rotel tomatoes (with the juices) and the chicken broth. Stir to combine. - Season the Soup
Add garlic powder, cumin, and Tony’s seasoning to the pot. Adjust the seasoning to your taste preference. Stir everything together until well combined. - Simmer
Lower the heat to medium-low and let the soup simmer for 30 minutes to an hour. Stir occasionally, allowing the flavors to meld together and the soup to thicken slightly. - Serve
Once the soup is done, serve hot with your favorite toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, or crushed tortilla chips for added crunch.
