Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Vegetables

  • ½ tablespoon olive oil
  • pounds ground beef
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup green pepper, diced

Seasonings

  • 1 package taco seasoning

Liquids and Canned Goods

  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1½ cups frozen corn
  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
  • 15 ounces tomato sauce
  • 10 ounces Rotel tomatoes
  • 4 ounces green chilies
  • 1 cup water, optional

Instructions

  1. Brown the Meat: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and diced onions, cooking until the meat is browned and no pink remains. Drain off any excess fat to keep the soup from being greasy.
  2. Add Aromatics and Seasoning: Stir in the minced garlic and taco seasoning, cooking for about one minute to release the flavors and toast the seasoning slightly.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Add the green pepper, beef broth, frozen corn, black beans, pinto beans, tomato sauce, Rotel tomatoes, and green chilies to the pot. Stir everything together to combine well.
  4. Adjust Consistency and Simmer: Bring the soup to a boil. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add up to one cup of water. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer gently for 25 to 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  5. Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and serve warm with your favorite taco toppings like shredded cheese, sour cream, avocado, or cilantro.

Notes

  • For a spicier soup, add extra diced jalapeños or hot sauce.
  • You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
  • Serve with tortilla chips or crusty bread for a complete meal.
  • This soup can be made in advance and tastes even better the next day.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
