  • 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

For Creaminess and Toppings

  • Sliced green onions
  • Extra shredded cheese For garnish.

Method

Cooking the Beef

  • In a large pot, brown the ground beef over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.

Sautéing Aromatics

  • Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pot. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the onion is soft.

Building the Soup Base

  • Pour in the beef broth, diced tomatoes (with juice), corn, black beans, diced tomatoes with green chilies, and potatoes. Stir in smoked paprika, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper.

Simmering the Soup

  • Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat. Let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes until the potatoes are tender.

Making It Creamy

  • Stir in the heavy cream (or half-and-half) and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix well until the cheese is melted and the soup is creamy.

Serving the Soup

  • Ladle the soup into bowls and top with sliced green onions, extra shredded cheese, and crushed tortilla chips for added crunch.
