Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 pound Ground Beef 96/4
  • 2 Poblano or Bell Peppers diced
  • Pinch of Kosher Salt
  • 16 oz bag Mexican Cauliflower Rice*
  • 1 cup 140g Frozen Fire Roasted Corn (or any frozen corn or drained canned corn)
  • 1 packet Taco Seasoning
  • 28 oz can Fire Roasted Crushed or Diced Tomatoes
  • 4 cups Reduced Sodium Beef Broth
  • Shredded Monterey Jack or a Mexican Cheese Blend for serving

Instructions

  • Set your Instant Pot to its sauté function. Once hot, add the olive oil and brown one side of the ground beef for 4-5 minutes before breaking apart with a spatula.
  • Add the diced peppers and a pinch of salt to the Instant Pot and stir together with the ground beef. Continue cooking until the beef is fully cooked and the peppers soften, another 5-6 minutes.
  • Add the frozen cauliflower rice, corn, taco seasoning, and crushed tomatoes. Stir everything together before adding the beef broth.
  • Seal the Instant Pot and cook with high pressure for 20 minutes. Vent immediately and serve. (Although this soup is better the longer it simmers.)
  • Garnish with shredded cheese, pico de gallo, light sour cream or fat free Greek yogurt, and serve with tortilla chips.

Notes

*I used Trader Joe's Mexican style riced cauliflower. Plain frozen cauliflower rice works in a pinch.

To Make this Soup on the Stovetop

Cook the beef and peppers the same way over medium heat in a large Dutch oven or soup pot. Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil before reducing to a simmer, covering, and cooking for about an hour before serving.
