Ingredients
12 oz 93% lean ground beef (to yield 10 oz)
4 C beef broth
4 T light cream cheese
8 slices turkey bacon, cooked and crumbled - divided
4 oz reduced fat shredded cheddar cheese, divided
A few parsley sprigs or fresh shredded lettuce for garnish
Directions
Place a large soup pot on the stove over medium high heat. Add the ground beef and sprinkle with Rockin’ Ranch Seasoning. Cook the beef until slightly browned (about 10 minutes) breaking up the clumps into small pieces while sautéing.
Add the beef broth and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and add the cream cheese. Stir until melted and then add ½ the bacon and ½ the shredded cheddar. Stir until combined.
Divide soup into 4 equal portions and garnish with the additional shredded cheddar cheese, bacon and greens if desired. Serve hot.
