Cheesy Beef Taco Soup

Taco beef soup topped with sour cream, avocado, and greens
This Taco Soup is one of my favorite soups these days. Quick and easy to make and so delicious. I usually make a full pot and leave the extra for lunch the next day. What also makes this soup so good is all the “fixings” I have with it. Avocado, shredded cheese, sour cream, tortilla chips. Yum, this soup is so good, it warms your heart!!
