Ingredients:
Five Ingredient Taco Soup
1 lb. ground turkey, chicken, or beef
1 packet of taco seasoning 1 (32 oz.) box chicken bone broth 1 (15 oz.) can diced tomatoes 1 (15 oz.) can black beans, drained/rinsed
Directions: Add 1 tbsp. olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add meat. As it cooks, sprinkle the entire packet of taco seasoning over the meat. Cook until the meat is no longer pink. If you’re using beef, make sure to drain any excess fat to keep the soup from becoming greasy. Next, add the diced tomatoes and bone broth to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer. Add the black beans and let the soup simmer on low heat for about 10-15 minutes. After simmering, divide the soup into bowls and enjoy!
