Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 2 tbsp beef juices
  • 1 medium onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 medium bell pepper
  • 1 small jalapeño
  • 14.5 oz strained tomatoes
  • 2 medium poblano peppers
  • 6 cups beef broth
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 avocado avocado cubed
  • 1/2 cup cotija cheese
  • 2 tbsp scallions
  • 2 tbsp cilantro

Instructions
 

  • Sauté ground beef on high heat in a large soup pot with taco seasoning, cumin, and seasoned salt, stirring to prevent anything from sticking, until brown.
  • Roast the peppers while you're cooking the meat, turning them occasionally to ensure all sides are totally blackened.
  • Once the meat is mostly cooked through (about 5 minutes), remove from the pot, strain the juices into a separate bowl, and set the beef aside.
  • Turn the heat down to medium, pour 2 tablespoons of the beef juices back into the pot, and add onions, garlic, bell pepper, and jalapeño.
  • Sauté until softened (about 3 minutes).
  • Add strained tomatoes and stir to incorporate.
  • Clean the skin off of the peppers, loosely chop them (careful to remove seeds if you're sensitive to spice), and add them to the pot.
  • Add beef broth, the block of cream cheese, and lime juice, stirring to break up the cream cheese and allow it to totally melt into the soup.
  • Taste and add additional salt or pepper if needed.
  • Serve piping hot, each bowl topped with half of a cubed avocado, 2 tablespoons of cotija cheese, scallions, and cilantro.
