Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can (15 ounces) corn, drained
- 1 can (10 ounces) diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 1 can (10 ounces) enchilada sauce
- 4 cups beef broth
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
- Tortilla chips for serving
Instructions
- In a large pot over medium heat, brown the ground beef with the chopped onion until the beef is cooked through and the onion is translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Stir in the black beans, corn, diced tomatoes with green chilies, enchilada sauce, and beef broth.
- Season the mixture with chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Serve hot, topped with shredded cheddar cheese, chopped cilantro, and tortilla chips on the side.
Notes
- For a spicier soup, add diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce.
- Substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option, or use a plant-based meat alternative for a vegetarian version.
