Directions

Step 1

In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, heat over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot with the browned ground beef. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the canned diced tomatoes (with their juice), pinto beans, corn, and diced green chilies.

Step 5

Pour in the beef broth and stir to combine all the ingredients.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more salt or spices to suit your preference.

Step 9

Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh cilantro, shredded cheddar cheese, and a dollop of sour cream if desired.
