Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add minced garlic, diced red and green bell peppers, and sauté for another 3-4 minutes until softened.
Increase heat to medium-high, add the ground beef to the pot, and cook until completely browned. Break the meat up with a wooden spoon as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the diced tomatoes and beef broth. Add chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir the mixture to combine.
Add the diced sweet potatoes to the pot. Reduce the heat to a simmer and let cook for 15 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender.
Add the diced zucchini and continue to cook for another 5 minutes, until the zucchini is just tender.
Stir in the lime juice and fresh cilantro just before serving.
Ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy! You can garnish with additional cilantro or lime wedges if desired.
