HIGH PROTEIN CREAMY TACO SOUP RECIPE
This high protein taco soup is a cool weather favorite, and it’s perfect for prepping in bulk with minimal time and effort. Another thing I love about this meal is its vast flexibility. Like any dump soup, you can add just about anything you want with minimal impact on flavor. If you don’t love veggies or have a picky eater in the house, this could be a great way to mask cauliflower, broccoli, zucchini, or other vegetables you can finely chop.
As you’ll see in the video walkthrough at the end, I was fully prepped and cleaned in less than 20 minutes. If you include the simmer and packaging time, you’ll need around 30 minutes total.

- To portion this out, you can weigh your final mixture in a large bowl using a food scale. Depending on your calorie/macro goals, portion accordingly.

Be sure to account for anything you'll add to the soup like cheese, sour cream, chips, etc.
