Instructions

Brown the Meat: Heat a medium soup pot over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula or wooden spoon, until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Once cooked, drain the excess fat from the pot to keep the soup light.
Add Liquids and Vegetables: Into the pot with the browned beef, pour in the beef broth and heavy whipping cream. Add the RO*TEL diced tomatoes with green chilis and the chopped red pepper. Sprinkle in the keto taco seasoning. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
Simmer the Soup: Bring the soup to just below a boil over medium heat. Once it starts gently bubbling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 10 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and the peppers to soften.
Season to Taste: After simmering, taste the soup and adjust with salt, pepper, or any additional seasoning as desired. Stir well to incorporate.
Serve and Garnish: Ladle the hot soup into serving bowls. Top each portion with shredded cheese and a dollop of sour cream. Serve with pork rinds on the side for a crunchy texture contrast.

Notes

Substitute ground turkey for a leaner protein option.
Use low-sodium beef broth to control sodium content.
For a dairy-free alternative, replace heavy cream with coconut cream.
Adjust the spice level by choosing milder diced tomatoes or adding extra chili for heat.
Serve pork rinds on the side to keep them crispy.
