  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can diced tomatoes (14.5 oz), with juice

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onions and cook until they are translucent, about 3 minutes.
  • Add garlic, bell peppers, and fajita seasoning, stirring well. Let the vegetables cook for 5 minutes or until they start to soften.

  • Stir in the heavy cream (or coconut milk for dairy-free option) and let the soup simmer for another 5 minutes to thicken and develop a creamy texture.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls and top with your favorite toppings, such as shredded cheese, chopped cilantro, avocado, or tortilla strips. Squeeze a lime wedge over the top for a burst of freshness.
