Instructions
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat over medium heat and brown the ground beef until fully cooked, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Drain any excess fat.

Add the chipotle chili powder, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Taste the soup and adjust seasonings as needed. Add a pinch more salt or spices if desired.
Ladle the hot soup into bowls. If using, top with shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, fresh chopped cilantro, and a handful of crushed tortilla chips for added crunch.
Serve immediately and enjoy your hearty Dude Ranch Soup!
