Cooking Steps
• Wash and dry produce. • Dice tomato into ½-inch pieces. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Drain and rinse beans.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add beef* and cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. Season with Mexican Spice, Southwest Spice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. TIP: If there’s excess grease in your pan, carefully pour it out. • Add tomato and scallions whites to pot. Cook, stirring constantly, until softened, 2-3 minutes more. Season with another pinch of salt and pepper.
• Once veggies are softened, stir tomato paste and ¼ tsp sugar (½ tsp for 4 servings) into pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until combined, 1-2 minutes. • Stir in stock concentrates, cream cheese, hot sauce, and 2½ cups water (4 cups for 4). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium. Simmer, uncovered, 7 minutes (15 minutes for 4).
• Stir beans into pot. Simmer, uncovered, 2-3 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper to taste. • Divide soup between bowls. Dollop with sour cream. Garnish with Mexican cheese and scallion greens. Serve.

Reviews from our home cooks
Instructions probably should have you cook it longer and make it more like a chili instead of a soup. Tasty, easy, one pot loveliness.
Awesome I just used one pot and added a bit more water because it was spicy. Really tasty and easy to make. I made additional rice on the side and added sweet corn to the soup so I could skip adding the sugar.
The whole family loved it!!! Love the one pot meals. Easy breezy to make and not a lot of clean up.
Very easy to prepare...one pot! Very lean & filling. Added a few tortilla strips and some avocado on top..delicious.
Not a favorite. It wasn't bad, but I've had much better taco soup made from canned veggies and prepackaged ingredients. It definitely needed something else. Not sure what. I've been thinking about it. Maybe some jalapeño pepper? Corn?
Loved this. Not hot but just right. I added a can of my own black beans to make it more substantive.
So easy and super delicious!! We added one can of green chilis, a bit more salt and a 1/4 packet of taco seasoning. Without those it was a teeny bit bland for us.
Amazing soup. Everyone loved it. Even my kid that does not like beans. We just cooked them with the other stuff so they were softer.
This was really good. Wanted much more of it! I never make such a small pot of soup when starting from scratch.
More of a taco chilli than a soup, still delicious and hearty
