Method
 

How to Make Cheesy Ground Beef Taco Soup
  1. In a large pot, brown the ground beef over medium heat until fully cooked and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
  2. Stir in the taco seasoning and cook for an additional minute.
  3. Pour in the broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for about 5 minutes.
  4. Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream and shredded cheese. Mix until melted and combined.
  5. Continue simmering for another 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally until the soup thickens slightly.
  6. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with your favorite toppings.
