Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb Ground Beef
- 1 cup Diced Onion
- 2 cloves Minced Garlic
- 4 cups Beef Broth
- 14.5 oz Diced Tomatoes
- 1 cup Corn
- 1 can Black Beans
- 2 medium Potatoes
- 1 tbsp Smoked Paprika
- 2 tbsp Chili Powder
- 1 tbsp Cumin
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black Pepper
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Instructions
- 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.
- Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onions are translucent.
- Stir in the smoked paprika, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the diced potatoes, tomatoes with juice, corn, and black beans. Pour in the beef broth and stir.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are fork tender, about 12-15 minutes.
- Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Warm through without boiling.
- Mix in the shredded cheddar cheese until creamy. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Serve hot with garnishes like cilantro, green onions, extra cheese, or sour cream.
Notes
For a spicier soup, add more chili powder or hot sauce. Works well with ground turkey or shredded chicken for lighter options.
