Easy Taco Soup

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?!
