Chef’s notes
When I make this creamy taco soup, I don’t really measure anything, so this will be approximate measurements. The recipe is very forgiving, and you can add or delete to your taste. The cream cheese is the key ingredient to make this soup creamy, and in my opinion the cilantro is a must.
