- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon, and cook until browned.
- Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and diced bell pepper to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the taco seasoning, diced tomatoes with green chilis, and beef broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cook for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Stir in the heavy cream and shredded cheddar cheese until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve hot, garnished with your choice of avocado, cilantro, sour cream, or extra cheese.
Cheesy Mash:
