I absolutely love Fall and with Fall comes all the delicious warm soup recipes! This creamy, low carb, lightened up recipe is absolutely delicious! I used less cream cheese than other taco soups and added plain Greek yogurt which allowed the soup to remain creamy without adding all the fat and calories. A touch of Hidden Valley ranch seasoning mix adds a touch of zip and blends so nicely with the taco seasoning and plain Greek yogurt. I topped it with a little bit of sharp cheddar cheese and some fresh chopped cilantro! It was pretty amazing! This recipe makes 5 large servings plus you can enjoy 2 additional Greens on the side! I had a cup of mini bell peppers from the air fryer. So yummy! Enjoy!
