Add the Tomatoes and Broth:

Stir in the can of Rotel tomatoes with chilies and the chicken broth.

Add the garlic powder, cumin, and Tony’s seasoning to taste.

Notes:
Saving Energy: This soup cooks fairly quickly, so it's an energy-efficient meal. You can also make it ahead of time and reheat for an even faster dinner.

Health Benefits: This soup provides protein from the beef and some vitamins and antioxidants from the tomatoes and onions. However, due to the cream cheese and seasonings, it’s rich in fat and calories, so it’s best enjoyed in moderation. You can use lean ground beef or reduce the cream cheese for a lighter version!
