Wendy’s Tips
- Looking for the perfect toppings for your soup? You can top it with sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, or even some green onions.
- Don’t have steak? You can use a cut-up chuck roast or even beef stew meat. However, if you are using a tougher cut of meat like a top sirloin, you may need to allow the steak to simmer for a while in the broth to help it tenderize.
- For extra flavor, you can add a bay leaf, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, or even a dash of Worcestershire sauce to this easy soup recipe.
What To Serve With Creamy Taco Soup
I love to serve this easy steak soup with a side of crusty bread. This Dutch Oven Sourdough Bread is my go-to bread recipe for soup. If you want something a little different you can also try this Bread Machine Cheese Bread.
FAQs
You can thicken the soup with a cornstarch slurry, or a quick little tip is to add a few instant mashed potatoes to help it thicken up.
It will add more creaminess to the soup, however, it won’t help thicken it since it melts.
