  3. Sprinkle in the taco seasoning. Pour in the beef broth and stir.
  4. Increase heat until the liquid bubbles, then lower to a gentle simmer for 15–20 minutes. Stir occasionally.

For different styles, pair soup with tortilla chips, sliced avocado, and lime wedges. Allow customizations for toppings to enhance flavor.
