Directions

Step 1

In a large stockpot, heat a drizzle of oil over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for 3-5 minutes, or until the onion is soft and translucent.

Step 4

Stir in the taco seasoning, chili powder, cumin, paprika, crushed red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes to toast the spices.

Step 5

Pour in the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and beef broth. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

Add the black beans, kidney beans, and corn kernels to the pot. Stir to incorporate all ingredients.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

Step 9

Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, and crushed tortilla chips, if desired.
