If you're following along you know I've been doing Whole30 since the beginning of February. It's been going well, and today I wanted to share with you one of the foods that I've been loving eating. I've made this soup three times already in the last couple weeks. It's super easy to make and the perfect alternative to the traditional tortilla soup. I added a few of my own additions after making it a few times.

Whole30 Beef Taco Soup (adapted from the It Starts with Food book.)

1 pound ground beef

2 tablespoons homemade taco seasoning

1 zucchini, chopped

2 tomatoes, chopped

1 handful cilantro, chopped

1 red onion, chopped

1 lime, squeezed for juice

2 avocados, chopped

2 16 ounce cans of beef broth

Brown meat in a stock pot, add in taco seasoning and mix together. Then add in the zucchini, onion, cilantro, and lime. Bring all of it to a boil and stir. Simmer for 15 minutes. Dish up and serve with fresh avocado on top and maybe a sprinkle of cilantro on top for good measure.

You could also add red and green bell peppers to this soup if you like.

This is a really good soup. Both my husband and I loved this soup. Let me know if you try it and your thoughts.
