Creamy Tomato Beef Soup

First off, let me tell you, this soup is soooooo good. And this little recipe happened quite by accident. I was trying to make another recipe and accidentally used the wrong ingredient. One thing leads to another, and voila!

So here goes--my own creation.

1 lb of beef--either ground beef or leftover prime rib (that's what I used)
1 onion chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 package cream cheese (8 oz)
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup half and half
2 cans chopped seasoned tomatoes
1 can of tomato sauce
1 package taco seasoning (I used mild)
salt and pepper to taste

Brown beef, onion, and garlic in some olive oil in a Dutch oven. Make sure the onion is nice and soft, add the cream cheese, and stir until melted. Then add everything else and stir until well blended and heated through. Next time around, I am going to add some mushrooms!

This is fairly low-carb; the tomatoes are the only thing you have to worry about. Be prepared to eat a lot. I did.
