Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Seasonings

  • 1 pound lean ground beef (or ground turkey)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced (or substitute 1 teaspoon garlic powder)
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Canned Goods

  • 28 ounce can crushed tomatoes (undrained)
  • 4 ounce can diced green chiles
  • 15 ounce can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
  • 15 ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 17 ounce can corn, drained

Liquids

  • 2 cups low-sodium beef broth

Toppings (Optional)

  • Tortilla chips or Fritos
  • Sour cream
  • Shredded cheese
  • Green onions, chopped
  • Avocado, chopped
  • Hot sauce
  • Fresh cilantro

Instructions

  1. Brown the Meat: Heat a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the ground beef (or turkey) and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Remove any excess grease if necessary.
  2. Add Ingredients: To the browned meat, add minced garlic, chili powder, ground cumin, salt, dried oregano, paprika, onion powder, black pepper, crushed tomatoes with their juice, diced green chiles, kidney beans, black beans, corn, and low-sodium beef broth. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.
  3. Simmer the Soup: Bring the mixture to a low boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer gently for 20 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and to meld the flavors.
  4. Serve and Garnish: After simmering, ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with your choice of toppings such as tortilla chips, sour cream, shredded cheese, chopped green onions, avocado, hot sauce, and fresh cilantro to enhance flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For a leaner version, use ground turkey instead of beef.
  • Adjust the amount of chili powder to control the spice level.
  • Rinse and drain canned beans and corn to reduce sodium content.
  • Add extra vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini for added nutrition.
  • Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and freeze for up to 3 months.
