Peel and dice the potatoes into bite-sized cubes and set aside.
Finely chop the onion, red bell pepper, and garlic.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the ground beef to the pot and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Add the onion, red bell pepper, and garlic to the pot. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute to toast the spices.
Add the diced potatoes, canned diced tomatoes (with juice), kidney beans (drained and rinsed), and beef broth to the pot. Stir everything together.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover with a lid. Simmer for 40-45 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the soup is slightly thickened.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve hot in bowls with your choice of toppings, such as shredded cheese, sour cream, or chopped fresh cilantro.
