Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for High Protein Creamy Taco Soup
  1. In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it's completely browned and no longer pink.
  2. Once the turkey is browned, stir in 1 can of drained black beans and 1 cup of corn, mixing well to combine. Pour in 4 cups of chicken broth and increase the heat until it begins to simmer, about 3–5 minutes.
  3. Sprinkle in 2 tablespoons of taco seasoning and stir thoroughly, allowing the spices to coat the beans and turkey evenly.
  4. Reduce the heat to low and introduce 8 ounces of cream cheese into the pot. Stir continuously until the cream cheese is completely melted and incorporated into the soup, about 3–4 minutes.
  5. Allow the creamy taco soup to simmer gently for 5–10 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure everything is well-mixed.
  6. Ladle the hot creamy taco soup into bowls and top each serving with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of shredded cheese.
