Main Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef (or ground turkey)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced (or substitute 1 teaspoon garlic powder)
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 28 ounce can crushed tomatoes (undrained)
- 4 ounce can diced green chiles
- 15 ounce can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
- 15 ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 17 ounce can corn, drained
- 2 cups low-sodium beef broth
Suggested Toppings
- Tortilla chips or Fritos
- Sour cream
- Shredded cheese
- Green onions, chopped
- Avocado, chopped
- Hot sauce
- Fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Brown the Meat: Heat a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the ground beef (or ground turkey) and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Remove any excess grease if needed to keep the soup light.
- Add Seasonings and Ingredients: Stir in the minced garlic, chili powder, ground cumin, salt, dried oregano, paprika, onion powder, and freshly ground black pepper. Then add the crushed tomatoes (with juice), diced green chiles, kidney beans, black beans, corn, and beef broth. Mix everything thoroughly to combine all flavors.
- Simmer the Soup: Bring the mixture to a low boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer gently for 20 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Serve with Toppings: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with your preferred toppings such as tortilla chips, sour cream, shredded cheese, chopped green onions, avocado, hot sauce, and fresh cilantro for an added burst of flavor and texture.
Notes
- Ground turkey can be used as a leaner alternative to beef.
- Adjust chili powder and hot sauce amounts based on your preferred spice level.
- For a vegetarian version, substitute beans and vegetables for the meat and use vegetable broth.
- Leftover soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for longer storage.
- Rinsing canned beans reduces sodium content.
