Easy Keto Low Carb Taco Soup

Still soup season to me. And as long as it's chilly out soup will be on the menu. Not to mention soups tend to make good left overs.

This recipe was super easy and simple in taste. It's delicious.  I made a couple of modifications only because, well, that's what I do.

I added about a tablespoon of tomato paste to the meat after it browned. I wanted a stronger tomato flavor.

When/if I make this again, I'd drain the meat before adding the rest. The recipe doesn't call for it, but draining it would make it less greasy.

1 lb Ground beef
3 T Taco seasoning (divided into 2 tbsp and 1 tbsp)
4 c Beef bone broth (or any broth of choice)
2 14.5-oz cans Diced tomatoes (with liquid)
3/4 c Ranch dressing (use paleo ranch dressing for paleo, whole30 and dairy-free options)

In the bottom of a large pot over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef for about 7-10 minutes, until no longer pink. Drain if desired.

Add 2 tablespoons taco seasoning (2/3 of the total amount) and 3/4 cup of broth. Simmer for a couple of minutes, until the liquid is mostly gone.

Add the remaining broth, diced tomatoes (with liquid), and remaining tablespoon of taco seasoning. Stir together. Bring to a gentle boil and simmer for about 8-10 minutes.

Remove from heat. Wait 2 minutes, then stir in the ranch dressing. If desired, garnish with shredded cheddar cheese and cilantro.
