Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I make this soup in a slow cooker?

Yes, after browning and draining the meat, you can put all of the ingredients into a slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours. This can be a great way to let the flavors meld together.

How can I make this soup spicier?

You can make the soup spicier by adding more cayenne pepper, using a hot variety of Rotel tomatoes with chilies, or adding diced jalapeno peppers or other hot peppers.

What can I serve with this Low Carb Mexican Soup?

This soup could be served with a side of low-carb vegetables or a green salad. If you’re not strictly following a low-carb diet, you could also serve it with tortilla chips, a warm tortilla, or cornbread.

What can I do if my soup is too thick?

If the soup is too thick for your liking, you can add more chicken broth until it reaches your desired consistency.

What is the best way to melt the cream cheese into the soup?

The cream cheese should melt smoothly into the soup with continuous stirring over low heat. If you’re having trouble, you can soften the cream cheese in the microwave before adding it to the soup. Additionally, cutting the cream cheese into small pieces before adding it can help it melt more easily.

What is Tony’s seasoning, and is there a substitute?

Tony’s seasoning, also known as Tony Chachere’s, is a popular Creole seasoning blend. If you can’t find it, you can substitute it with another Creole or Cajun seasoning blend, or make your own with a mix of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.
