I grew up eating hamburger at least every other day. I lived on a farm and beef and pork were the go to proteins stocked up in the freezer. My parents would buy a quarter cow or a half of a pig and stock up the freezer to feed their large family of six.

I can’t even lie, I wasn’t a fan of most of the hearty beef dishes growing up. While there were dishes like Stuffed Cabbage Rolls that I always enjoyed, but for the most part it got old.Light Taco Soup is a healthy and easy 15 minute meal full of wholesome ingredients and bold flavors!

Once I left for college, my diet consisted mostly of chicken. I love a good chicken breast to this day and always will. I was on my own and I could finally make what *I* wanted to eat. Life was great and I completely left beef and all that farm table food in the dust!

Over the last year I have been coming back around to beef. I have found that a good 93% lean ground beef is pretty lean but packs some serious flavor. While it isn’t something I eat on a daily basis, it is a good way to change up my chicken routine every now and again. Light Taco Rice Bake and Light Cheeseburger Quinoa Skillet are a couple of my most recent favorites.

This Light Taco Soup is a twist on one of my favorite soups, Chicken Tortilla Soup. The hamburger and jalapeño give it a rich and spicy bite with bold flavors you will love.

    This looks delicious, I will have to try this recipe over the upcoming colder months! One question I have for you…where did you get the soup bowls (or what brand are they)? I absolutely love them!
