Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes (with juices)
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 4 cups beef broth
- 15 ounces black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup corn kernels (frozen or canned, drained)
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
- 0.5 cup shredded cheese (optional, for topping)
- 0.25 cup sour cream (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-6 minutes, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks.
Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
Stir in taco seasoning, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper until the meat and onions are well coated with the spices.
Add the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and beef broth. Stir to combine and bring the soup to a gentle simmer.
Once simmering, stir in the black beans and corn. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the soup simmer for 10-12 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Remove the pot from heat and stir in lime juice. Taste the soup and adjust seasoning, if needed.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh cilantro, shredded cheese, and a dollop of sour cream if desired.
