Love an easy keto Crockpot recipe?
You’ve gotta make this delicious and oh so creamy keto taco soup in your Crockpot! It has all the bold flavors of tacos in a comforting, hearty soup, and is super convenient to make any day of the week using your slow cooker.
Everyone in your family – keto and non-keto eaters, will LOVE this recipe because it’s that YUMMY!
The cream cheese and seasonings in this soup make for an insanely delicious and brightly flavored broth. The ground beef and diced tomatoes are filling and extremely comforting as well! Thankfully this slow cooker method is simple, and it consists of browning the ground beef on the stove first, then throwing the rest of the ingredients in the slow cooker.
Hip Tips:
Use this homemade taco seasoning mix in your soup! It’s easy to make and super YUM!
You can even make this in your Instant Pot! Set Instant Pot to “Saute” mode. Brown ground beef with onions and garlic. De-glaze pan with broth. Add the remaining ingredients. Close lid and set cook time for 5 minutes on ‘Soup” mode. Let pressure naturally release for 5 minutes. Stir well and serve with desired toppings.

The best soup I’ve had in a long time!
Oh, man! This soup is so incredibly YUM. I’m a big fan of making a batch of soup and then heating it up during the week for leftovers, and this soup is just as great the next day.
Feel free to top it with keto-friendly add-ins such as avocado, shredded cheese, hot sauce, and sour cream.
Mexican food lovers will rejoice with these keto chimichangas!
The nutritional facts is that per serving?
Yes!
How do you get that much fat and that much protein per serving from these ingredients
Do you think this could be freezed?
Yes I do, readers have said they have frozen with success.
What is the serving size?
About a cup – hope that helps
This soup was amazing!! So quick,easy and delish!! Will definately be making this on a regular basis!!
Oh I’m so glad – thanks for coming back to share!
My entire family LOVED this!! Thank you so much!
That’s so great!!
How do i go about cooking it stovetop
Hi Chloe! You could cook it on the stove, in a large pot, beginning in step 2. Hope that helps!
I don’t really care for spicy things, do the ancho chile powder and the green peppers add any heat? Also, do you have a preferred recipe for the home made taco seasoning? Looking forward to trying this!
Hi Marissa! The Chile powder will add a bit of heat. You could always use less. Here is a homemade Taco Seasoning Recipe – https://hip2keto.com/recipes/homemade-taco-seasoning-recipe/
Hope that helps!
We made this last night. YUMMM and more YUM! Made it on the stove instead. Bomb.com. We both had 2 cups…Yeyyy US!
Perfect! That’s so great Sarah! Thanks for sharing ❤️
Delicious! I like to stir the cream cheese in with the browned ground beef until it melts before adding to the crock pot, just because sometimes the cream cheese ends up clumpy if I throw the whole brick in there. But either way, awesome flavor! I did drain a bunch of the grease but there was still plenty left. 🙂 great topped with avocado and sour cream!
YUM! Thanks so much for taking the time to comment, Becky! Good to know you have been loving the taco soup!
What is the cook time for the Insta-pot?
Hi Kristin! Here is what we suggest when using the Instant Pot –
“Set Instant Pot to “Saute” mode. Brown ground beef with onions and garlic. De-glaze pan with broth. Add the remaining ingredients. Close lid and set cook time for 5 minutes on ‘Soup” mode. Let pressure naturally release for 5 minutes. Stir well and serve with desired toppings.”
Hope this helps!
Have you used less fat cream cheese?
Hi there! Less fat cream cheese is bad! Remember, on the keto diet, you want your fat intake to be higher. When they take the ‘fat’ out of cream cheese (or any item on the market), they in turn fill it with sugar to make it taste good. 😊
I have made this several times, really good
We’re glad to hear it! Thanks for sharing 😊
Just made it it was amazing! Is it safe to freeze for later in the week😁
Hi Maria! Other readers have had success freezing theirs! Hope this helps!
If i use store bought taco seasoning, do I use same amount?
You can use the same amount, however, if you are eating keto then be sure to read the ingredients. Store-bought taco seasoning will sometimes have a small amount of Potato Starch and Sugar. Just make sure this lines up with how you and your family are eating.
I just made the soup in 2 hours on high in my crockpot but the cream cheese is still clumpy. Do I need to leave it longer?
You could try turning down the temperature next time before adding the cheese. Also some readers have changed the steps to melt the cream cheese earlier on. Hope that helps!
Rotel with green peppers? Or green chiles? I’ve never heard of it with peppers.
It’s chiles- i fixed, Thanks!
I am in love with this soup except I made a few substitutions. I had chicken breast already thawed and substituted it for the hamburger and I didn’t have the ancho Chile powder so I used Kroger brand Chipotle Chile Pepper and it was not only a Big hit at home but I made another pot to take to work that week and it was a Big hit there as well. Thank you so much for the recipe, can’t wait to try the original with the hamburger in it.
Oh awesome! You’re so welcome, Lisa M! Thanks for letting us know how your version turned out! Hope you enjoy it with the ground beef as well!
