Step-by-Step Instructions for High Protein Creamy Taco Soup
  1. In a large pot over medium heat, add 1 pound of ground turkey. Break it up with a spatula, cooking for about 5-7 minutes until no longer pink.
  2. Once the turkey is cooked, add in one can of drained black beans, one cup of corn, and four cups of chicken broth. Stir everything together and bring to a gentle simmer.
  3. Sprinkle in two tablespoons of taco seasoning, stirring thoroughly for about 1-2 minutes to meld the flavors.
  4. Reduce the heat to low and add an 8-ounce package of cream cheese. Stir continuously until melted and blended smoothly into the soup.
