Ingredients

Scale

Meat and Aromatics

  • 1 lb ground beef or turkey
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Vegetables and Beans

  • 1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (15 oz) can corn, drained
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes with juice

Liquids and Seasoning

  • 4 cups beef or chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp taco seasoning

Optional Toppings

  • Shredded cheese
  • Crushed tortilla chips
  • Sour cream
  • Diced avocado
  • Chopped cilantro
  • Lime wedges

Instructions

  1. Brown the Meat: Start by heating a large pot over medium heat and adding ground beef or turkey. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat to keep your soup from becoming greasy.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: Add chopped onions and minced garlic to the pot with the meat. Stir occasionally and cook until the onions become translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add the Core Ingredients: Mix in black beans, corn, diced tomatoes (with their juice), and beef or chicken broth. Stir well to combine all the flavors and prepare for simmering.
  4. Season to Perfection: Sprinkle in your taco seasoning and stir to distribute evenly throughout the soup. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed; you can add salt, pepper, or extra spices depending on your preference.
  5. Simmer and Meld Flavors: Reduce the heat and let the soup simmer gently for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to develop deeply and the ingredients to soften and harmonize perfectly.

Notes

  • Brown Meat Properly: Fully browning the meat adds flavor and prevents sogginess in the soup.
  • Use Homemade Taco Seasoning: Customize your spice blend to control the salt and heat levels.
  • Don’t Skip the Broth: Using broth instead of water adds richness and depth to the soup.
  • Let It Rest: Allow the soup to sit for a bit before serving so flavors deepen even further.
  • Serve with Crunch: Adding crushed tortilla chips or fresh veggies on top gives a delightful texture contrast.
