Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 14.5 ounces chopped tomatoes, canned
• 3 medium russet potatoes
• 4 cups beef broth
• 1 cup frozen corn kernels
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil.

Step 2

Add the ground beef to the pot and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain any excess fat if necessary.

Step 3

Dice the onion, mince the garlic, and chop the red bell pepper. Add them to the pot and sauté for 5 minutes, or until the onions are translucent.

Step 4

Peel and dice the potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Add them to the pot along with the paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to coat the vegetables with the spices.

Step 5

Pour in the beef broth and canned chopped tomatoes (with their juices). Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 6

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer the soup uncovered for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender.

Step 7

Add the frozen corn kernels and stir. Let the soup cook for an additional 5-7 minutes.

Step 8

Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.

Step 9

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve warm with crusty bread if desired.
