Description
A hearty and comforting one-pot meal combining beef, beans, and fresh vegetables, perfect for busy weeknights or chilly days.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 cups beef broth
- 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes (with juice)
- 1 (15-ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
- 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 (10-ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 1 cup diced potatoes (peeled or unpeeled)
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Sliced green onions
- Extra shredded cheese
- Crushed tortilla chips
Instructions
- In a large pot over medium heat, brown the ground beef until it is no longer pink. Drain excess fat if needed.
- Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté until the onion is soft and translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
- Stir in the beef broth, diced tomatoes with juice, corn, black beans, diced tomatoes with green chilies, and diced potatoes. Mix well.
- Add the smoked paprika, chili powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Stir in the heavy cream (or half-and-half) and shredded cheddar cheese until the cheese melts and the soup is creamy.
- Once everything is well combined and heated through, serve the soup hot.
Notes
For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños or increase the amount of chili powder. You can substitute ground beef with turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
