Instructions

  1. Heat a large pot over medium heat and brown the ground beef, breaking it into crumbles. Drain excess fat, leaving about a tablespoon for flavor.
  2. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onions are translucent.
  3. Stir in the smoked paprika, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add the diced potatoes, tomatoes with juice, corn, and black beans. Pour in the beef broth and stir.
  5. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are fork tender, about 12-15 minutes.
  6. Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Warm through without boiling.
  7. Mix in the shredded cheddar cheese until creamy. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
  8. Serve hot with garnishes like cilantro, green onions, extra cheese, or sour cream.

Notes

  1. For a spicier soup, add more chili powder or hot sauce. Works well with ground turkey or shredded chicken for lighter options.
