Directions

Step 1

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the ground beef to the pot, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if needed.

Step 3

Stir in the diced onion and garlic. Cook until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the kidney beans, pinto beans, corn, and diced potatoes.

Step 6

Add the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to evenly distribute the spices.

Step 7

Bring the soup to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 9

Serve hot in bowls with optional toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, or chopped green onions, and pair with crusty bread or cornbread if desired.
