Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef, browned
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (15 oz) corn, drained
  • 1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies
  • 1 packet (1 oz) taco seasoning

Instructions

  1. Brown the Ground Beef: In a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add the ground beef and cook until fully browned with no pink remaining, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  2. Add Beans and Corn: Stir in the drained black beans and corn, mixing well with the browned beef.
  3. Incorporate Tomatoes and Seasoning: Pour in the can of diced tomatoes with green chilies along with their juices. Sprinkle the taco seasoning packet evenly over the mixture and stir to combine thoroughly.
  4. Simmer the Soup: Reduce heat to medium-low and let the soup simmer gently for about 15 to 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together well. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Once heated through and flavorful, ladle the soup into bowls. You can garnish with shredded cheese, sour cream, or chopped cilantro if desired.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add a dash of hot sauce or extra chopped jalapeños.
  • Use ground turkey or chicken as a leaner alternative to ground beef for a healthier option.
  • This soup freezes well, so store leftovers in airtight containers for up to 3 months.
  • Consider serving with tortilla chips or warm cornbread for a complete meal.
  • If you want a thicker soup, mash some of the beans after cooking or add a tablespoon of tomato paste.
