Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (plus extra for topping)
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • ¼ cup sour cream (for topping)
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
  • Lime wedges (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Ground Beef: Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it into small pieces, until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat to keep it light and healthy.
  2. Add Aromatics: To the pot, add diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté everything together until the onion is soft and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Season the Meat: Sprinkle in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir and cook for about 1 minute to release the spices’ flavors.
  4. Add Tomatoes and Broth: Pour in the diced tomatoes with their juices, beef broth, and the tomato paste. Stir well to combine. Bring the soup to a gentle simmer and let it cook uncovered for 10 minutes so the flavors can come together nicely.
  5. Finish with Cream and Cheese: Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Simmer for another 5 minutes to slightly thicken the soup. Then add ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese and stir until melted and well blended in.
  6. Serve and Garnish: Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Ladle the soup into bowls and top each serving with avocado slices, a dollop of sour cream, some extra shredded cheese, and chopped cilantro. Add lime wedges on the side if you like a little tangy brightness.

Notes

  • Use lean ground beef to reduce excess fat and keep the soup healthier.
  • If you prefer a spicier soup, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chopped jalapeños when seasoning the meat.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
  • To make this recipe dairy-free, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and use a dairy-free cheese alternative or omit cheese altogether.
  • Lime wedges add a fresh, tangy brightness that balances the rich soup flavor—don’t skip if you like a zesty touch.
