Taco Tuesday was supposed to be a salad but I turned it into a Creamy Taco Soup by using what we had. It was an experiment with a very unlikely ingredient!
I based this loosely on 2 recipes.
🌮 1lb of lean ground beef
🥣 1/2 orange & 1 yellow pepper
🌮 2 chopped shallots
Sauté in InstantPot 6-8 mins
Then throw in:
💚 1 gigantic crushed garlic clove ( 2-3 normally)
🥣 2 cups of Beef Broth
🌮 1/2 a can of stewed/ canned tomatoes
🥣 1/3 cup of mild salsa (bottom of the jar- put some broth in jar and sloshed it around. )
🌮2 TBSP of Taco seasoning
🥣Chopped up about 6 slices of pickled jalapeños
🌮 S& P
Remember to turn off saute setting for a minute to cool off.
Put on lid, set to high pressure for 2 mins.
Once time is up, natural release until pin drops ( about 15 mins or so)
Meanwhile, I mixed 1/4 Cup sour cream with.........
1 Cup of ROASTED RED PEPPER HUMMUS!!!
( I wanted this low carb, plus we had no beans, or corn to throw in anyway, but chickpeas are a legume, right? 🫣🤯🤯🤯)
🧀 Shred 2 Cups of marble cheese
Once pin has drop give it a stir- scoop in sour cream/hummus ( i mixed those together first), then throw in the shredded 🧀.
Stir to meld together.
Ready to serve with additional topping if you wish. Sorry I forgot to take pics, but I portioned out 3 mugs worth for supper ( 2 cups each for a serving) I threw on thawed avocado chunks for M & I for even more decadence.
There was enough leftover for 2 mason jars- for a couple of lunches.👍👍
This was honestly the best decision I have ever made! I can't believe how nourishing this felt. Comfort food kicked up a notch on a blustery November evening. Not too spicy but just enough for flavour and kiddo gobbled it up!👌
Has anyone else put hummus in their soup?!
