Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground turkey or lean ground beef
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Shredded cheese optional
  • Diced avocado optional

Equipment

  • skillet
  • cutting board
  • knife

Method
 

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, cook the ground turkey or beef over medium heat until browned and crumbled, 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the taco seasoning and cook for 1 minute to toast the spices.
  4. Add the black beans, pinto beans, corn, diced tomatoes, diced tomatoes with green chilies, and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  5. Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors have melded.
  6. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the plain Greek yogurt until well combined.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Serve the Creamy High Protein Taco Soup hot, topped with shredded cheese, diced avocado, and crushed tortilla chips, if desired.

Notes

For an even creamier texture, you can blend a portion of the soup in a blender or use an immersion blender before stirring in the Greek yogurt. This soup also freezes well, so you can make a large batch and enjoy it for multiple meals.
