Step-by-Step Instructions for High Protein Creamy Taco Soup

In a large pot over medium heat, add the ground turkey and cook for about 6-8 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula until it’s browned and fully cooked.
Stir in the black beans, corn, and chicken broth into the pot with the turkey. Mix well and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium-high heat for about 2-3 minutes.
Sprinkle the taco seasoning into the pot, stirring thoroughly to ensure even distribution of flavors. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Lower the heat to medium-low, then add the cream cheese to the pot, stirring continuously for about 3-5 minutes until fully melted and blended.
Allow the soup to simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Ladle the warm soup into bowls, and serve it hot with a dollop of sour cream and shredded cheese on top.
