Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Drain excess fat if necessary.
Add the diced onion, garlic, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper to the pot. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for 1-2 minutes to toast the spices and enhance their flavors.
Add the canned diced tomatoes (with their juices), tomato sauce, and beef broth. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the kidney beans and black beans. Simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes to heat through and allow the flavors to meld together.
Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
Serve the chili soup hot in bowls, garnished with sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, and/or chopped fresh cilantro, if desired.
