Crock Pot Keto Taco Soup
For the crock pot taco soup, you'll want to brown the beef beforehand. Once the ground beef is cooked through, just add all of the ingredients to the crockpot and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 2.5-3 hours.After that, you'll only need to mix everything with a spoon and the slow cooker taco soup will be done!
Instant Pot Taco Soup
If you'd like to use your Instant Pot, you'll brown the onions, garlic and meat in the Instant Pot on sautee. You'll then add the rest of the ingredients and mix well together. Close the lid, put it on manual and select 6 minutes. Let it come to pressure, cook the 6 minutes and then let the pot sit for 15 minutes. Do a quick release, taste the soup and add salt if needed.

Notes
Make sure that the cream cheese is completely melted and perfectly mixed with the ground beef before adding the tomatoes and chicken broth. This will ensure that you don't have chunks of cream cheese in your taco soup.
Make sure to turn off the heat before adding the cheddar cheese in. When the heat is turned on, cheddar cheese tends to clump together and it's harder to mix together.
Instead of chicken broth, you can use beef broth or vegetable broth.
Instead of ground beef, you can use ground pork, ground chicken, pulled pork, pulled beef, or pulled chicken.
Instead of canned tomatoes, you can use fresh tomatoes.
