01

Step
7 mins

In a large soup pot, heat over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, diced onion, and minced garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until the beef is browned and crumbly, and the onion is translucent. (Approximately 5-7 minutes). Drain off any excess grease.

02

Step
3 mins

Stir in ground cumin and chili powder. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the spices to bloom and release their aromatic oils.

03

Step
5 mins

Add the softened cream cheese pieces to the pot. Stir continuously until the cream cheese is completely melted and incorporated, ensuring a smooth and creamy base. (Approximately 3-5 minutes).

04

Step
30 mins

Pour in the beef broth, undrained diced tomatoes, chopped green chiles, heavy cream, and salt. Stir well to combine all ingredients. Reduce heat to medium and simmer gently until heated through. (Approximately 30 minutes). Be careful not to boil, as this can cause curdling or separation.

05

Step
0 mins

Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt or spices to your preference.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a can of drained and rinsed black beans or corn.
If you like a smoky flavor, add a teaspoon of smoked paprika.
For a spicier soup, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or use hot diced tomatoes.
Garnish with fresh cilantro, avocado, or a squeeze of lime juice for added freshness.
This soup tastes even better the next day, as the flavors meld together.
